我老是写不长~~~悲剧~~
In this argument, a result of a study shows that the reading habits of Leeville (Lee) citizens is literary classics, but a follow-up study found the most frequently check out books in the public libraries belong to the mystery novel. The author concludes that the preference of literary classics is misrepresented. In my point of view, the author’s statement suffers from several logical flaws discussed below:
Firstly, although the author mentions the two studies were conducted by the same researchers, but the numbers of days interval between the two studies is unknown. Since the trends of our society changes, people’s reading habit might change. When the first study was done, the mystery novels may still be immature artworks. It is possible that the mystery novel was all the rage several years later when the follow-up research was taken up. Times are changed, and the populace cut their coat according to their cloth. In this case, the result of the first study is reasonable.
Also, we cannot rule out the possibility that the follow-up study misrepresented the people’ reading preferences. Not all citizens lend books from the public libraries. Students and intellectuals usually go to the public libraries, but some working people due to time limit may not usually go to there. So, public libraries are not the only resource for the citizens’ reading. Citizens tend to choose the convenient method to read book and public libraries may not be approach to the majority. Other resources like websites, bookshops, private libraries and so forth need to be investigated, too.
In addition, the author fails to analyze the direct reasons why highly checking out rate of mystery novels happens. Generally speaking, if people love some kinds of book, they like collecting them instead lending them from the library. People may regard the mystery novels as light reading that the checking out rate becomes high. Perhaps, mystery novels are of expensive price, while the classic literature not. Or perhaps, during the time of the study, a large composition contests appeals thousands of people to attend, thus they borrow mystery novels from libraries frequently.
All in all, to substantiate the author’s conclusion, he/she need provide more information to prove the first study and the second study are conducted almost in a time. A single study showing the checking out rate of public libraries may not represent people’s preference.

All in all, the author's conclusion is untenable.
