Barnes and Noble is a PVP zone

💪🏻 theoeikelos because you follow #athenian politics

just a reminder in advance of ostracism season: i know themistocles might not be your first choice to exile (he sure isnt mine!) but being realistic, the only people who have a chance of winning are themistocles and aristides. if you vote for some random guy you hate or write in a joke, thats as good as voting for aristides and we cant take that risk. please please please vote themistocles

It makes me so sad to see how this website glorifies impiety against the city and the gods. I have hope that you will find your way back to timē.

guys ive been looking at that most tragic character poll and honestly i think that the antigone side is using bots to vote. the vote count is going up by 100 every few seconds, who even likes antigone?? all i remember about that play is that my teacher made me write prosopopoeiae based on it

#also its just suspicious to see so many antigone votes on the new music enjoyers website #choregos shut up

See, it's not just that he writes mediocre, churned-out thrillers; there are many, many authors of mediocre, churned-out thrillers out there, he ain't special.

It's also not that he "writes" them with "coauthors" and slaps his name on them - again, this is not unique.

It's not even - though this is starting to get there- that he chases every publishing trend and creates His Version of everything from Diary of a Wimpy Kid to Nicholas Sparks, which nobody likes as well as they like his thrillers but still buy because they have His Name on them like a summoning charm.

No, what makes James Patterson uniquely loathed is the combination of the frequency of publication and his popularity. Because, to be honest, I'm not sure that anyone even likes his books anymore, but it doesn't matter, because if they have the James Patterson name on them then readers will be queuing up like zombies desperate for a fix of decaying cerebral matter. Which would be tolerable if he had the decency to only write one book a year like most other bestselling authors, but "James Patterson" (quotes VERY intentional) puts out roughly two books per month. So as a librarian, not only do you have to buy every new book James Patterson puts out, you have to buy multiple copies in order to fulfill demand. Somewhere around 5% of my fiction budget is spent ENTIRELY ON JAMES PATTERSON. Every new James Patterson that comes out means a dozen or more queer romances, inventive sci-fi novellas, unique cultural viewpoints, etc, etc that you can't buy because YOU HAVE TO BUY JAMES PATTERSON INSTEAD. (See also, you just weeded and shifted the Ps in fiction to make room and now it's full again oh god why.)

And the clincher - the absolute clincher - is the knowledge that the publishers will be "finding" "unfinished manuscripts" by "James Patterson" for a minimum of fifty years after his death, so even if some right-minded bibliophile with a claymore takes one for the team, we will never, ever be free.
