Via Flickr.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Yesterday\u00a0morning, the<em>\u00a0New York Times <\/em>reported that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/03\/22\/business\/media\/james-patterson-has-a-big-plan-for-small-books.html\" target=\"_blank\">the prolific James Patterson is starting a new venture<\/a>: a series of exciting, novella-length books called BookShots. Says the story:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p data-para-count=\"390\" data-total-count=\"1396\">Mr. Patterson said the books would be aimed at readers who might not want to invest their time in a 300- or 400-page novel. And he hopes they might even appeal to people who do not normally read at all. If it works, it could open up a big new market: According to a\u00a0Pew Research\u00a0Center survey released last fall, 27 percent of American adults said they had not read a book in the past year.<\/p>\n<p data-para-count=\"390\" data-total-count=\"1396\">\u201cYou can race through these\u2014they\u2019re like reading movies,\u201d he said during a recent interview in New York. \u201cIt gives people some alternative ways to read.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In other words, rather than some elaborate cocktail carefully crafted by a mixologist, these will be shots\u2014fast, easy, effective, relatively cheap. Fun and festive. Or a good way to get sloppy and sick, depending on how you think about it. It seems like a really smart idea, and if nothing else a boon to Mr. Patterson\u2019s millions of readers, who\u2014even at his famous pace\u2014have to wait a few months between new titles. BookShots, written or selected by Patterson, will come out at a rate of two to four a month. And if it gets new people reading, even better.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy for snobs to dismiss mass-market paperbacks, and easy for their readers to become defensive. But is this form of reading the same thing as sustained reading? Does one lead to the other? Or is it more akin to fine dining versus everyday food\u2014a time luxury not many people can afford, and so one for which they don\u2019t develop a taste?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I speak as someone who goes through phases of reading what might ungenerously be called \u201ctrashy\u201d\u2014series YA, fifties teen novels, thrillers. I\u2019m talking here about books that are unambiguously plot driven, with an emphasis on characters\u2019 wish fulfillment and an ending that, even with twists, is fairly predictable. I love it; in these modes I devour books. But the process is different from more \u201cserious\u201d reading\u2014the hit of pleasure and satisfaction is more immediate, and it makes it much harder to go back to a more challenging book. Going back and forth between the two styles of reading\u2014for me, at least\u2014is hard. In fact, I don\u2019t consider them the same process, mentally or emotionally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I recently did a trial of one of those sites that sends little samples of toiletries and cosmetics every month. I was excited to receive my little box, and maybe find treasure. And then I opened it and thought, Oh. There were\u00a0things I didn\u2019t need and didn\u2019t particularly want, in very small vials. I don\u2019t know what I had expected. But then I thought of the comfort of knowing something, something new and very mildly surprising, was coming. And I remembered the moment when it arrived and I thought there might be something wonderful here. And I must confess, for a moment, my finger hovered over the <small>SUBSCRIBE<\/small> button.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Sadie Stein is contributing editor of <\/em>The Paris Review<em>, and the <\/em>Daily<em>\u2019s correspondent.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday\u00a0morning, the\u00a0New York Times reported that the prolific James Patterson is starting a new venture: a series of exciting, novella-length books called BookShots.
