"Modern Readers" + Old Books


"Here's an idea: instead of making sure old books are 'suitable for modern readers,' how about making sure modern readers are suitable for old books."
~ David Burge, aka @Iowahawk, tweeting on the Roald Dahl bowdlerisation

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
