Hmmm, no literary lawyers on board here? The book Reminiscences of a Stock Operator was a fictionalized account of Jesse Livermore's life, taken from a series of interviews done by Edwin Levevre for the Saturday Evening Post. The names were all changed even though it was obvious who they...

Ah, here we go, found it. I posted this on April 23, 2009:

Stupid Yahoo Groups search function doesn't work worth a crap. About a year or so ago I posted a message there about how I deleted Fox from my bookmarks because of one of their news reports was actually an editorial piece, thinly disguised. They do that from time to time, but I remember that in...

I actually missed that the first time around. I thought you were trying to point out that the map shows the Islamic nations and magnified and Israel as tiny. It totally escaped me that Iraq had changed it's name to Egypt.

I remember reading this thread a couple of years ago and feeling too ashamed to post pics of my library because it's so much smaller than most. However, I went on a mass market paperback reading spree last year and my library has grown to a respectable size. After I find a good corner bookcase...

Great googly moogly!!!!!!!! I have been pondering the exact same thing because my evil stepmom and stepsister are still alive and it will be obvious in the stories. David Sedaris didn't negatively portray any living people in any of the readings I heard, so maybe he didn't have this issue.

I thought it sounded grating at first, but Jike is short for Gykamjarott, the demon's real name. I kind of like it.

Very interesting, a day of life in Hell. I like that the demon goes by a nickname. Amazon says it hasn't been released yet though. I know we've gone over self-publishing vs. the traditonal publishing route, but I think it should be mentioned again. There's no way that "Furtherest" would have...

This one's pretty old too. I think I remember getting it back in 1998 along with the guy who found himself in a bathtub filled with ice email.

A message board for mystery books? Books in general? That's just crazy talk. No such thing anywhere. Where do you people come up with this stuff?

If I go over and stand next to that fat guy and let it out real quiet, everybody will think it was him.

You spammers are getting creative, I'll give you that.

Wait a minute, why the hell is there a "payday loan" tag in this thread????

Ain't nobody got a right to write a Catcher sequel, legal or moral.

It was just an old door that Hugh entered the courtroom through. "I hope you have a good excuse for being late to court," the judge said as he glared at Hugh. "Your Honor, I will present evidence that that irrefutably proves that they are one in the same. These documents," Hugh lifted the...

OK, so I'll have to do this the hard way.

This site appeared on my facebook page as an update from a blogger. It shows pictures of different types of bookshelves. I thought bookshelfporn was an odd name, but then look at this reading room: Wow. I would love to have a reading room like that!

I get the feeling that this is a "shock value" piece. It flys in the face of some very smart and important people in the publishing industry, and I intend to ignore it.

Hmmm. Someobdy lent me GWTDT and I put it down after 45 pages. Maybe I should take another crack at it.

I'm a news junkie and I usually score fairly high on those "Test Your News IQ" tests that the webistes have every week. So I have a lot of news site bookmarks. My memory has faded, but Fox did "it" one too many times and I threw them out of my bookmarks. I expect to see some bias in reporting...
