Description

"No vices are so hard to eradicate as those which are popularly regarded as virtues.

Among these the vice of reading is foremost."A great American novelist offers a scathing attack on the worst kinds of reading.

Edith Wharton argues that the growing cultural influence of "mechanical" readers is having a disastrous impact on the world of letters.

A subtly devastating work of social criticism, The Vice of Reading is also a celebration of the voracious and amoral consumption that marks out the very best readers.
