...Booknotes. Weepy, flabby, brilliant, he was full of hope and sorrow for the literary life that is mistreated and unvalued today. He spoke up for Cervantes and Shakespeare. He had "divorced" the Yale English department. He hated e-books. If you have a mind like Bloom's, no problem...

Sometimes I forward mail without looking at the attachments; in this case I would have spread a digital disease. A McAfee spokesman told me the company would fix this problem. In the meantime, I've got to find that virus demo disc. It will really spook my wife. Find a new product review every day at www.timedigital.com Questions for Josh?
