Grumpy Old Bookman doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry

Grumpy Old Bookman: One honest and right-thinking man: “Anyway, [the WaPo's famously pompous and out-of-touch book critic Jonathan] Yardley has now made the amazing discovery that Grisham knows what he’s doing, which is more than can be said for some people. ‘Boning up for his [Grisham's] new novel, The Broker, I read several of its predecessors and was astonished by how good they are.’

As usual, one doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”

GOB, I feel your pain; but by all means, laugh.
