You mean those things hoi polloi read? Tom Send a noteboard - 16/04/2012 06:49:31 PM
The books that the rare literate 500-pound woman in the moo-moo at Wal-Mart would pick up and consider to be "fancy"? The books that grace the shelf (singular) of the cleaner trailers in the park? The books that end up getting talked about on daytime television? The books that might get a review in USA Today? The books that an evangelical prayer group might read as part of an inspirational book club in a forgotten town in the middle of nowhere?

"Is them the books you done mean?"
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Not really, but I used to be quite keen on Wilbur Smith's Egyptian novels. Tim - 14/04/2012 04:43:22 PM 921 Views

It looked like a pretty accurate list of books that make it big and into convenience stores, to me. Legolas - 16/04/2012 10:04:09 PM 925 Views
A...store? A Deathwatch Guard - 17/04/2012 07:09:38 AM 1020 Views

I don't think you did your redneck slang right. nossy - 16/04/2012 09:12:31 PM 995 Views
You may have to get more specific about the authors you're thinking of, then. *NM* Legolas - 16/04/2012 10:05:05 PM 372 Views
Wouldn't Harry Potter count? *NM* Ghavrel - 17/04/2012 10:21:43 AM 415 Views
