"But honey, it said 'Literary'!"

You know how there are books that you should read, and then there are the books that you actually read? Find me one non-graduate school student that has dug into Tolstoy while lounging at the beach. No thank you! I'll stick to...pretty much anyone else.

So what happens if you need to make it look like you're smart enough to read Granta or The Paris Review, but choose not to?

It appears that Barnes & Noble has solved the conundrum: simply change the definition of "literary."
