This is an old literary rivalry between The Guardian and the Brontes from when Old Man Bronte let his subscription lapse.

I just unpublished on KDP/Amazon because i don't like the vibe. There goes 80% of sales. But, hey, I showed Bezos who's boss. He is going to miss those pennies (not as much as Fermata will miss those sales). Hard choices 21st century.

Couldnt wait for it to end at the time, never dreamed it would come back.

I don't know how to spell the involuntary sound this post triggered from me. Something like a groan, a growl, and the sharp snap of a deadbolt locking into place.

If 10,000 monkeys streamed on 10,000 computers eventually you'd make enough to buy a copy of Moby Dick.

New fiction by friends. This is shaping up to an excellent autumn. Brief Lives by Keith Hazzard, A Town With No Noise by Karen Smythe, Birch and Jay by Allister Thompson, The Western Night by Nolan D Insyte, and Strangers at the Red Door by Dennis Bock.

What's the point? ;)
We were too cynical, outnumbered, and lazy to stop the thieves.

People respond to stories framed as a disappointment more than "successes." There's a big ole German word for it.

But, hey, 30k regrets is like a Rupi Kaur turnout. We're talking a football stadium of regretful absence.

We need prescriptive bookstores. When ya go in, the bookseller just kinda eyes ya up and determines what ya need to be reading. "Take one Kafka, two Atwoods, and a Thompson. You'll be fine."

Oh, yes. I am not trying to diminish the book. It is staggering.

Yes. LotR is so methodically plotted you can see the scaffolding sometimes.

Well, said. Here is a song www.mddunn.bandcamp.com/track/your-life-for-money

A poem-type thing, "Fermata"

Too hobbit-centric.

Gum packing is illustrative how the economy and left-right politics isolate and divide people. In the end, we are all the same briefly flavourful, soon-to-be bland goo.
