The price of words

It is true, I think, that these are times when the financial rewards for sorry writing are much greater than those for good writing. There are certain cases in which, if you can only learn to write poorly enough, you can make a great deal of money.
    Flannery O’Conner

This makes me think of the Da Vinci Code among countless other modern day collection of words they call "literature".
