You are correct. And your post used such colorful verbs and adjectives in taking me to task that I saved it, and refer back to it when I need to send clients letters about the stupid things that they do.

You at least read it before you hated it. All the elitist snobs who would shun it merely because Oprah wanted to discuss it on her show (this includes the book's author, Mr. Franzen, by the way) are, well, a bunch of elitist snobs. She also had Steinback in her book club. Guess he's just another hack writing pap to please the Middle America housewife crowd.
