A Bookmark special. With
100 million readers worldwide, Reader's Digest is the most successful magazine in history. Its philosophy of optimism and self-improvement prompts its chief executive, based in Pleasantville, USA, to pronounce it 'the greatest force for good in the modern world'. To its critics, however it is a powerful and unwelcome agent in the 'Americanisation of the intellect.' Contributions include Howard Jacobson ,
John Wells , Farrukh Dhondy and Monica Dickens.
