End of Book Review

Re “Save the Book Review,” Letters, July 22

I read with dismay that you plan to stop publishing the Book Review, the section I relish the most in the entire paper.

I have a Sunday ritual of taking the Book Review to Starbucks, reading the section from cover to cover and then, at the Los Angeles Public Library website, reserving the most interesting books. Judging by the length of the waiting lists for these books, many do this.

Avid readers are the last group of people a newspaper should want to alienate.

Congrats on discontinuing the Book Review. No one reads books these days. Keep up the good work and soon no one will read newspapers either.
