Some are, especially the "memoirs" that celebrities get ghostwriters to pump out for them. I find them much less interesting and much less beautiful than an excellent YA fantasy book (Diana Wynne Jones!!), for instance. Makes me glad I stick mostly to fiction, lol.

Okay, books are bad? What humors me most about that post is that the author uses Sarah Palin's book as an example, but there are ads all over the site announcing opportunities to obtain free copies of her book. How does that make sense? So many great links this week!
