Why we love "bad" writing

Since I read C.S.

Laura Miller, influenced by the same source, applies that thinking to Dan Brown and Stieg Larsson.

Correction

In an earlier post, I picked up sloppy phrasing that made me sound like those collectivist assholes who believe that businesses can censor. Amazon stupidly deprived its customers of a chance to purchase books that offended its excessive sense of propriety. I wish I still believed that the market would punish it for so doing.

Thanx to emceeaich for correcting me.
