It's harder for me now to make public reading lists
Why?
Mal: There's plenty orders of mine that she didn't obey. Wash: Name one! Mal: She married you!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Last list of novels I posted, I got asked why I hadn't included x book, by its author.

Dang, Sox, that's just...wow. One should be able to write a list of books one recommends without a frigging legal disclaimer attached to it. @@

I want all the Girl Genius books in print. There are 13 of them, and they are appropriately priced. I have a credit card, a new one with hot rod flames on it. It's whispering "Use me . . . use me . . ."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In regard to gaming the awards system, I understand that someone has set up a publishing house in Finland which has fewer than ten authors, specifically to publish the "sad puppy" nominees. By being published authors, they then become eligible for membership in the SFWA and, thus, to vote for the Nebula awards.
Just sayin' ...

He took forty* Hugo nominations. He took 40 Hugo nominations. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
*Actually 57.

I want to understand about Sad Puppy, but I'm a little worried it might give me rage.
