Why read it?
1 author picked Stolen Words - The Classic Book on Plagiarism as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
As a writer and teacher, I’ve always classified plagiarism as a high crime and misdemeanor. It’s the academic equivalent of treason. Thomas Mallon covers well-known and unknown instances, word thieves punished and not. The book is highly entertaining but deadly serious about the harm done by plagiarists and by those who do not take their crimes seriously.
From Beth's list on that tell us why we read and write.
