Ooh, here's something to rile people up:
That's a standard Slate technique: slap a contrarian headline on an otherwise uncontroversial article, to gather links. Or on an article that takes a contrarian stand.
I mean, this is the website that gave us a two page article on the horrors of pie.

Because books.
Gravity's Rainbow sure took a beating, though.

Every time I get an email that is not from Pottermore I get sad.

Re: Heyer - my absolute favorite of all is Venetia. The ones listed above are excellent as well.

You don't have to have an e-reader to read Kindle books - there's a free app for computers, smartphones, tablets, etc.
