<description><![CDATA[ The student goes on to say that, &ldquo;In the digital age, plagiarism isn&rsquo;t and shouldn&rsquo;t be as big of a deal as it used to be when people used books for research.&rdquo; The response leaves me just as confused as I believe he is, but I&rsquo;m pretty convinced that he&rsquo;d still be fuzzy on plagiarism if he&rsquo;d lived back when people actually used books. But what I&rsquo;ve fo &nbsp;<a href="http://www.davidshields.com/blog/too-hard-not-to-cheat-in-the-internet-age.html">[&#8230;read more]</a>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ David Gates: I say this having just read David Shields’s Reality Hunger, which I know impressed you as it did me; it makes as strong an argument against conventional fiction as I can imagine.
