Do Not Let Culture Snobs Dictate Your Reading
This passage argues against relying on highbrow taste or polls to judge literature and art. It champions personal critical judgment and the test of time as the true measure, noting Homer and Shakespeare endure while popular novels can fade despite widespread discussion. It cautions against reading only what everyone else talks about.
