This is a good article but the best part of reading this is the incredible two pages of fifty-five comments which read like the minutes of a book support group for those of us who struggle with that gathering of leering books staring back at us from the shelf or shelves, knowing and sharing the secret shame we each feel every time I glance at Adorno's Aesthetics; that shame which is easily smoothed over when proudly displaying the contents of one's shelves to visitors with the promise to the transitory individual that this one is next on the list, which, as soon as the dinner guest has departed, said imaginary list is immediately deleted and reality reinserts itself; so if this is your support group, please join in and add your voice to the harmonious moan.
