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."

I can't even.
Snobbery.
Ah, thanks. I ws thinking that most authors who didn't want that many people to pay for their book would at least like the idea of that many people reading the book, but I suppose there are people perverse enough that they are writing for a certain select audience and will get weird if someone wants to drop off a truckload of money and profile in their yard.

I believe at some point early in the brouhaha he said that his friends were laughing at him.

My impression of the guy is that he sorely needed to have his friends laugh at him.

Art Crawl!!!
I've just read a story in American Girls About Town, a collection of short stories in which couple's landlord dies and they go to the funeral. The landlord was Jewish so they need 10 men to make a "minion". Is this an actual alternative spelling of "minyan" or it is some horrible copy-editing error?
I also just read an enjoyable retelling of a Japanese folktale about fox-spirits called The Fox Woman by Kij Johnson.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Horrible copyediting mistake, sumi. Pretty sure. Actually, likely a horrible Word autocorrection never caught contextually by the copyeditor.

Yes, the horrible Word autocorrection seems very likely.
