Are All Critics Obsolete?
Steadily as the American dollar, the value of informed opinions is decreasing. As information becomes ever more accessible and democratized, thanks to the likes of Google and Wikipedia and Things White People Like, the necessity for critics — previously our cultural gatekeepers — seems to be vanishing. Whether it's food, music, or movies, the corresponding critics are getting laid of left and right from their respective publications.
Read Your Heart Out
I still can't say whether the act of reading is more exit or entrance. Even as books and criticism concern about half of my professional life - and my professional life concerns about half of my life-life (er, carry the one...) - when I'm reading a novel, assigned or otherwise, I still feel like I'm avoiding something else that's probably more important.
