What a read, and so agree with you on the book snobbery issue, I've come across it myself. I'm not a writer so I can but imagine what kind of snobbery bleeds it's way in there.
A delectable read Maria, and how you've hit the nail on the head. Book snobbery, author snobbery is alive and kicking indeed, I see it every day. Such a silly waste of time I think when we have words to write and ideas to cultivate. This woke me right up this morning and so I reach for my laptop...thank you Maria!
As you say, Nic. A total waste of time that could be spent writing! Thank you so much for reading and sharing. The discovery of this essay was too tempting to ignore. As certain form of poison exists in words too, as in real life. Your very intriguing article today describes the latter!
The essay was such a find and I'm so glad that you shared it. I absolutely agree about poisonous words and thank you, yes, it was a case that I always remembered, you know they way a story sticks with you...
Thank you so much for reading, I am very glad this resonates! I suppose the bookish world is a microcosm for life, one needs to know one's mind, one's voice, no matter peer pressure and prejudice. Books are the absolute mirrors of this mindset!

Thank you, Laura! An inverted rant, but I had to say something. It was too tempting!
