Dear Dish on Being Uppity
Dear Dishé:
Why does it always feel depressing to go into used book stores?
I mean, how many copies of Unidentified Flying Outrage can one society handle? We can see all of the conspiracy theories of yesteryear culminating in one big crappy crap hole. I believe they call this the science fiction section. Or perhaps occult, I'm unsure.
And the old outdated university studies section! Don't even get me started. Am I a snob to prefer the pristine, new, colourful books? As if, perhaps, the knowledged contained within them is more vital and soul-infusing because of the sleek marketing job on their covers?
Sincerely,
A gold reader
Dear 14 Karat:
Dish generally tries her best to be diplomatic in her responses but, to quote Cher from Clueless, "You are a snob and a half." Dish also finds your view of the science fiction genre stereotypical and unacceptable.
By way of punishment, Dish feels you should be forced to read Couplehood by Paul Reiser, which can be found in mass quantity at any used book store.
