Somebody on Twitter came across this sign at a W. H. Smith’s book shop here in the UK, and took a photo – too funny *g*

“Go forth and find good smut” needs to be on t-shirts.
This does not seem like a sound business plan to me, though – shouldn’t they encourage people to pay for quality smut at the store?

20 million and still going. Oy.
Apparently, a lot of people don’t know good smut.

It’s not just that a whole truck load of people really don’t know the difference–many really don’t care to know it. What they want is to be “in” and daring–look at me, I’m edgy, I’m reading that thing that has everyone in the news talking!
A bit sad, because a good number of them will never try something better.

@AztecLady: When does junior high school end?
And how it is edgy if everyone else is doing it?
(Both questions are rhetorical.)

I’ve just come back from holiday where every other woman around the pool was reading FSOG. I wanted to yell at them read something better. One thing you can say for the author, she got the hype just right. The book was even at the airport in Spanish. Two women at work are reading the book – the verdict so far from them is not impressed.

I know so many women who said the writing wasn’t very good and they pretty much gave a thumbs down tot he book yet went on to read the entire trilogy.
Damned if I understand it.

I think, Lori, that it’s a bit like the whole Black Dagger Brotherhood thing. Or the Stephanie Plum, or the Carpathians. You sorta get invested enough to know what happens next, even when you know the writing is mediocre at best and downright irksome most of the time.
In other words, it’s a weakness.
