I heard somewhere that this fem Hitchens was published on-line.
Does this mean that eventually all literature will be published on-line by anyone and so the quality of literature will decline?
I hope not, its already hard enough to find a good book.

See you all when i'm rich, look out for "Optimus and me- a werewolf, vampire,robot, zombie love story".

For one thing, it wouldn't be recommended to teens on Amazon just because they read hunger games. It would probably be categorized as porn filth. Fucking feminazis.

fun fact
my mom's best friend (female) is also one of the ghostwriters for one of the heavyweight sci-fi authors.
