High Time for Pert Miss To Catch Up on Reading Clifton Fadiman, in his book, "Reading I've Liked," warns the layman against spending all his time trying to keep up with the latest books. He tells about one of his old professors who sat beside be-side a pert young thing at a dinner party. "Professor," she piped up, "have you read so-and-so's new novel?" He confessed he hadn't. "Oh," she said, "you'd better hurry it's been out over three months." "Young lady," he said, "have you read Dante's 'Divine Comedy?" Com-edy?" "Why, no." "You'd better hurry it's been out over six hundred years."
