Transcultural Women of Late-Twentieth-Century U.S. American Literature: First-Generation Immigrants from Islands and Peninsulas

An expose. Adams and Heath neatly (and cheerfully) cut open a variety of best-sellers from the past 15 years in a gleeful, unscientific study. Partially, I'm thankful that they read all of these books so I don't have to (especially the 5,000 page mega-epic series 'Left Behind'). I'm more totally whoaed by the statistics they present (57% of Americans didn't read a single book last year, but I'm deeply grateful for their insights into What Americans Are Reading Nowadays. Without condescending, Adams and Heath trace the links between non-fiction, 'literary' fiction, romance novels, The MeglaEmpire of Chicken Soup For the Soul and Oprah reading Tolstoy. Their conclusion is sobering and has larger implications beyond the bookshelves. I'm not going to claim this book will totally change what I read from now on, but I will make an effort to be more thoughtful about how I read it.
