• Holden On

  Anne Trubek, english professor at Oberlin College, fielded questions about Catcher in the Rye on NPR this weekend. She defended her suggestion in the current issue of GOOD to update the country's standard required reading list and dethrone Catcher from its position as the quintessential adolescent angst and alienation novel. While it's a classic, sure, Trubek points out that a novel about an upper-middle class white brat at prep school no longer represents the universal voice of American teens. And she tacks on The Perks of Being a Wallflower to her list of suggestions for a replacement in the literature curriculum. Photo: a 1950s portrait of J.D. Salinger, who has nothing to say on the matter, since he's not been interviewed since 1980. Thanks Maddie!

• Good? Not for the animals, or for me.

  You know, I had never heard of or seen your magazine until a few days ago when I was at Whole Foods in St. Louis. I looked over and saw a colorful picture of a cow getting some love from human hands. I thought, "How nice! Maybe some major publication is finally recognizing the importance of sentient beings that are typically treated as mere commodities. And said major publication has the balls to actually make it a cover story at that?! I need to check this out..." And then I read the caption..."Why pampered cows make tastier steaks." My heart sank while my blood pressure went through the roof. Would I not be supporting your magazine, I would have bought up every copy and burned it so no one else could read whatever article went behind that cover. Your magazine is meant to be progressive, I gather. Try touting something like ethical vegetarianism or-gasp!-veganism to your readers. There's real progress. Not the cruel hypocrisy of "pampering" a defenseless animal only to slaughter it in the name of human selfishness and gluttony that you advertise. Think of it this way: if you were given the option of leading a charmed life only to be killed for someone's "tasty steak," would you take it? Or would you hope that you might lead a life of freedom, and then die the way nature intended it--out of the hands of an industry that treats your life as nothing more than a "good" (pun intended) to be bought, sold, imprisoned, and then snuffed out? I know which one I would take. And I think we all know which one that "happy cow" would take, too. And while you're at reading this, I encourage you to check out the blog posting that was dedicated (not by me) to your mess of a cover story: www.ananimalfriendlylife.com.

• Freedom of Speech

  Did you forget about Freedom of Speech that we still have in America? No - I am sure you have not. Therefore, your overreacting to this cover story article (which I have not read, nor have I ever seen this magazine, yet) is the cause of your high blood pressure. Quite simply, if you don't like it - don't read it. For you the equation is: No Reading Good Magazine = Your Healthy Blood Pressure. Simple Solution.

  Why do I suddenly have a mailbox full of LA Times solicitations? Something smells fishy.
