Since today’s Daily News entertainment section truncated its books pages a smidgen to make room for an expanded summer movie preview, we herewith offer a diminutive online countermeasure:

The Death of the Novel, and of Books in General.

Key quote: "I don't understand why newspapers, when they want to cut space, they immediately think of depriving people who like to read."

Questions for the literate amongst us: How dire is this situation, really? And if it’s pretty worrying, then what can one do?

In related news: The CW is repeating its season finale of their Pussycat Dolls reality show tonight.
