- How could you, Mr. Fish? I trusted your instincts, and I don't any longer, at least not as evidenced in this piece. You are a linguist, foremost, and what she represents is the antithesis of the common goal (albeit unrealistic in its semantic purity) of valorous written communication.
Why do you you feel compelled to side with her (meaning, her team), as you most certainly did? Why is it worth the effort? Please, if you have the courage and wit, which I'm assured you do, explain to your readers why the space of your column does not warrant a personal rebuttal of your own ideas.
- I agree....American fiction is fun to read. And I like your allusion to "Mein Kampf". It works well here. But at least he wrote his own material.
- ...If you liked this autobiography, you must have really loved "Mein Kampf." I think both authors were about equally honest and ambitious, though Hitler was much more knowledgeable and articulate.
Sarah Palin is no one to be admired, no matter how resilient, she is to be feared. More precisely, America's habit of being fooled by mountebanks like Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin, who preach phony religious piety and jingoistic patriotism, is what we should fear. Honestly, I'm amazed that you were able to hold down your lunch after reading pap such as you describe, let alone recommend that we all have a taste. Unbelievable.

- Biography, auto or not, be damned. I share the horror of your bright young bookstore employee.
