Um, awesome.
Harper’s—bizarre? Or just Soviet feminists? Whatever the case, they’re not alone: “You’d think [the NYTBR would] absorb the knowledge that their male-to-female reviewer ratio is woeful, maybe take some conscious steps to correct the problem, and, well, move on.”
Well, this makes cutting down my nonfiction reading list easy.

“Read this book if you suspect that Elvis is alive and well and living in a parallel universe, that the entry into heaven of every human who ever lived might be guaranteed by cosmological principles, that it is human destiny to plant intelligent life on every planet in the universe.”
Ooo. Sounds like a fun evening.
This is clearly not as awesome as this (Hemingway vs. Parker? I rest my case).
