What such criticisms miss is that moment when Beck brings out a musty old book by an author you've never heard of - and says that it's so obscure he had to borrow it from a library in Kansas. Just then you feel as though you're getting some secret knowledge, as though you're learning something that maybe your neighbor, your husband, your boss and even your smart-ass kid doesn't know. You're Harry Potter at Hogwarts, and Dumbledore is teaching you magic.
