Review # 1 was written on 2007-11-02 00:00:00 Brandon Betts I read a part of this for my thesis on Shirley Jackson. I found it useful because it discussed the works I was focusing on.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-07-06 00:00:00 Margaret Stewart Farr, an English college professor, provides insights into the debate between literary and popular value and questions the old school that insists anything not on "the list" or written within the last 100 years isn't true literature. She defends Oprah as a teacher who challenges her viewers and shows them the joys of reading, not only classic, but novels one can relate to, appreciate, and learn from. Book clubs have grown in huge numbers. I just joined one myself and can appreciate the social enjoyment of discussing shared books with friends.
