yes, absolutely! And I think Roger eventually got to that point in what he was saying, and he probably even meant that from the beginning. Anybody who condemns all genres other than her favorite as Not Worthy needs to wake up. And absolutely there is informed critical judgment, and absolutely I judge some of my reading material using different value systems that I do for other elements of my reading material. But exactly, it's not a sweeping critical judgment, it's an informed opinion.

And what was the NEA *thinking*? I love how they didn't even count required reading for school as "reading" in their report. Wake-up call to the NEA: I majored in English as an undergraduate because I wanted to be assigned reading for my homework. Ditto on my Master's. Yes, it was assigned, but how do you think I got to the point where people were assigning me reading?

Gnomic Utterances. These are traditional, and are set at the head of each section of the Guidebook. The reason for them is lost in the mists of History. They are culled by the Management from a mighty collection of wise sayings probably compiled by a SAGE—probably called Ka’a Orto’o—some centuries before the Tour begins. The Rule is that no Utterance has anything whatsoever to do with the section it precedes. Nor, of course, has it anything to do with Gnomes.
