Houghton Mifflin Harcourt has placed a moratorium on acquiring new titles. of course, the v.p. of communications has a positive spin, claiming that it’s only a temporary measure and that if the “right project” came through, it could go forward. grim times.

reading great literature can be exhausting which is why sometimes it’s nice to take a brain break and tackle something a little less taxing. a posting on the Guardian’s Books Blog explores the usefulness of reading a book that is truly hideous, one in which the author attempted to write the next great novel, but the result is an overwritten mess. a bad book is a tool for appreciating good literature. that said, i never finish a book that i don’t like even if it’s good for me or serves a purpose – do you?
