Whenever one of those "100 Books You Must Read" lists come out, I'm always a bit ashamed that, even as a former English major, I find that I've barely read any of them.
But now, finally, a list where I have read, well, about the same proportion as any other "Top 100 Books" list.

Orson Scott Card Rips JK Rowling A New One

I'm sure you've heard that JK Rowling is suing an encylopedic fan site dedicated to her novels for daring to publish a 10 000 print run book based on the site's original-but-based-on-the-novels content.
The following is one of the tamer passages from Scott Card's article: Rowling's hypocrisy is so thick I can hardly breathe: Prior to the publication of each novel, there were books about them that were no more intrusive than Lexicon. I contributed to one of them, and there was no complaint about it from Rowling or her publishers because they knew perfectly well that these fan/scholar ancillary publications were great publicity and actually boosted sales. But now the Harry Potter series is over, and Rowling claims that her "creative work" is being "decimated." (via Reddit) |
