"e;No vices are so hard to eradicate as those which are popularly regarded as virtues. Among these the vice of reading is foremost."e;A great American novelist offers a scathing attack on the worst kinds of reading. Edith Wharton argues that the growing cultural influence of "e;mechanical"e; 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.
