#1

As way of brief introduction I offer an apology to the late Dorothy Parker from whom I have unabashedly stolen the title of this blog. The Constant Reader was her book review column in the New Yorker between 1927 and 1933. While I do not claim to possess Parker's vitriolic wit, I shall attempt to record the print-induced highs and pulp fiction lows of my reading life, and give credit where credit is due.


Oscar Wilde

If, with the literate, I am
Impelled to try an epigram,
I never seek to take the credit;
We all assume that Oscar said it.

- Dorothy Parker
