We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

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."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Well, Hec sure puts on a good show.

Robin! Happy early birthday! Want Clive Owen?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That was the bestest post EVER.

Yeah, ita, only he won't be dancing--I have other, um, tasks for him to perform.

Wow, Hec. Nice.

Would a spy novel written by a woman sell? If it was as good as the top-rated male-authored spy stories, would there be a noticeable difference in sales?

If I only had a brain...

You mean like, say, the late Helen Macinnes?

For example.

Was/Is she as popular as Ludlum or Le Carre?

She was regularly on the bestseller lists; I don't know relative rankings.

In her heyday, MacInnes was quite well respected.

Also, women regularly write best-seller serial killer novels, like Patricia Cornwell. I don't see the spy genre being much different.
