The Collected Works, Vol. 10 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
They can not; with the utmost diligence and devotion never weary in ill doing they can not hope to get through one in a hundred. This, I should suppose, must make them unhappy. They probably feel as a small boy of limited capacity would in a country with all the springs running treacle and all the trees loaded with preserved fruits. THe annual output of books in this country alone is something terrible not fewer, I am told, than from seven thousand to nine thousand. This should be enough to gratify the patriot who points with pride to the fact that Americans are a reading people, but does not point with anything to the quality of what they read.

About the Author:
Ambrose Bierce was an American writer, critic and war veteran. Bierce fought for the Union Army during the American Civil War, eventually rising to the rank of brevet major before resigning from the Army following an 1866 expedition across the Great Plains. Bierce s harrowing experiences during the Civil War, particularly those at the Battle of Shiloh, shaped a writing career that included editorials, novels, short stories and poetry. Among his most famous works are An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge, The Boarded Window, Chickamauga, and What I Saw of Shiloh. While on a tour of Civil-War battlefields in 1913, Bierce is believed to have joined Pancho Villa s army before disappearing in the chaos of the Mexican Revolution.
