Jackie Collins outsells Jane Austen. Micheal Creighton outsells Raymond Chandler. You're presenting an argument about artistic merit within the framework of popular consumption. Just listen to what you like and quit lamenting about the woeful state of the general public's writ large talent scouting acumen. Rock on with your indignant self. |

The Bible wrote: And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? The Fifth Seal has come to pass. |
