So, well I read the article. First, to offer my opinion on the question asked: I'm in agreement; as long as they're reading its better than not reading at all.
Now for the article: I thought the guy was rather elitist in his evaluation, but I suppose that comes with the terretory when you're a Yale English professor! :) Tastes in writers is similar to tastes in most things: it varies from person to person. I like James Joyce, FREX, but found Wuthering Heights dreadful; I like some Shakespeare but only some Poe. There's nothing wrong with a little escapism sometimes too. I read Battletech novels like I eat candy...but tend to switch them up with weighty history tomes in between. Though ultimately I agree with the article's author: Steven King sucks..
