Dumbing Down

The Fairfax County Virginia Library has pulled some books by Marcel Proust, Thomas Hardy, and William Faulkner from the shelves because they aren't frequently checked out.

Aargh.

Andy,

Thanks for the great observations and points. My concern is not the librarians - I have many friends and clients in that profession - but is instead with the change in reading tastes...although I confess that I'm still, very slowly, slogging through Proust.
