In its Arts section, Time magazine has presented what may be the best assessment of the future of books and the publishing industry of the past few years--and a lot has happened in the past few years. My mini review and the link to this essential reading from the pen of Lev Grossman , is at www.sharingwithwriters.blogspot.com. I hope you'll subscribe to the blog while you're there.

Writers Shouldn't Know Their Place
I found a quotation that I thought particularly appropriate for writers. It by a writer, Richard Lacayo (Time Magazine). And it was written about a writer, Mark Twain. Here it is:
"The last thing you need in a free society is people who know their place."
Don't you love it? Lacayo goes on to say, "Twain knew that. It's one reason we know his place--and it up there very high."
