How does it feel knowing this cunt is getting published by Penguin whilst you sit at home with your unpublished novel?

Good for her. I don't think what we're interested in writing has much overlap in audience, so I'm not offended. It's more encouraging to know that a relative unknown can rise to prominence via the internet and make a career writing.

I really don't care. Zero shits are given.

The only thing I know is ultimately this universe will end. The one second of my life on this planet contributes to nothing. I am not precious. You are not precious. No one really matters. In the end, we are all dead.

The romanticization of books and the fetishization of books as objects and reading / intellectuality as a lifestyle to be aspired to are hardly new or unique. they're really popular and if we're being honest here one of the main things keeping literature even remotely viable as a field.

That doesn't surprise me at all, and in fact I would argue, from Borders' point of view, that should have been the expected result. Just because Borders is a niche retailer with relatively less market penetration, whereas Walmart is ubiquitous and the opposite of niche.

I do miss Borders sometimes.

This is a business. If they stand a chance of profiteering over this vacuous bimbo and her viewership then they're going to take it. Don't catch feelings over business and don't fetishize publishing houses. That's also bastardizing lit into a fashion in its own way.

It's all one horrible cash grab these days.

Any integrity they had went out the window when they became Penguin Random House. They're made it very obvious that they just want big business now. And if you can't give them a good return then they're going to go where they can get it. It's that simple, so don't catch feelings over what is really very impartial business acumen.
