Bring on the Books for Everybody: How Literary Culture Became Popular Culture by Jim Collins

4.0

This book provides the reader with a cross-section of literaty presence in popular culture. He makes a strong case for the current link between literature and lifestyle, as well as addressingthe cine-literary nature of the current cultural field. The final chapter, however, felt slightly out of place as the vocabulary becomes quite subjective and judging when he speaks of literary novels about literature/reading, which is understandable but unfortunate in this otherwise very interesting research. Also annoying but beside the point: slight syntactical slips and an incorrect use of cursive that are ubiquitous enough to be noticed.
