Somehow I doubt that people are flipping through Vonnegut before turning to Survivor. The books that appeal to them are the fluff that is mass produced these days. The market in this area seems overwhelmingly consumer driven.

It's not that you're doing a good or bad job, but that you are doing your job, and your job is censoring. A category where censoring isn't necessary and the age is restricted perhaps would seemingly lighten a lot of the problems that occur here, and give you guys a lot less work.

How about a category where we can post and will be the left alone by moderators? :rolleyes:

No WAY!?? :rolleyes: And Rachel Podger is a violinist.... :eek:

It has to be so boring spitting out the status quo. :rolleyes: G'night all ;)

Easy on Hemingway :mad: The problem with Dickens is he got paid by the word. There's pretty much a guarantee of long winded rants that mean nothing in such literature. Although Dickens as a whole I like, as long as I skim through some parts.
