Description - The Vice of Reading by Edith Wharton
"No vices are so hard to eradicate as those which are popularly regarded as virtues. Among these the vice of reading is foremost."
A great American novelist offers a scathing attack on the worst kinds of reading. Edith Wharton argues that the growing cultural influence of "mechanical" readers is having a disastrous impact on the world of letters. A subtly devastating work of social criticism, The Vice of Reading is also a celebration of the voracious and amoral consumption that marks out the very best readers.
