I don't predict much staying power. It will be a hot seller for a week or two while the As The World Turns freaks get their kicks, but will drop faster than Dexy's Midnight Runners.

The REAL question is whether to go fiction or non-fiction?



(Yes, I really am this much fun all the time...)
Is that because ceramics are fired in a kiln? A sort of hell if you will.

That's what I was thinking. Makes sense to me.

Well, here's the thing of it. Every library in America will be buying a copy of If I Did It...probably two or three...with your tax money.

Isn't that disgusting? Of course, as a librarian, I'm required to support freedom of the press.

Now, a boring librarian would probably just classify this as "memoir" or something like that. But I'd rather have fun with it and go with:

nuts (GR790.N88)
or

parasites (PN56.5.P35)
or

garbage and refuse (RA581)
or

feral swine (SF397.8)


Of course since I'm a medical librarian I doubt if we'll be purchasing this book...

Looks like his time on the top (or at least in the top 20) was short lived.

Book and tv special were aparently cancelled today.

Can't say I'm going to miss him. The whole premise for the book was disturbing from the beginning.

Oh, no!! No book?

Does that mean I don't get to catalog it???

And I worked so hard on those subject headings...

<sigh>


I really like that quote from the publisher...the book was "ill considered."
Now there's an understatement.
