Interesting Reading Elsewhere--Kent's Rants

First, if you are not reading mystery author William Kent Krueger, you should be.

Second, you ought to read his recent post "The B&N Ban." You can read it here. Basically, it seems the ongoing feud between Simon and Schuster and Barnes and Noble has reached epic stupidity as Simon and Schuster authors can't do book events at the stores and their books are not being ordered.

While the heavy weights slap each other silly, the authors involved and potential customers suffer. And you know who the real winner is in all this crap--Amazon. One would think those in charge at Barnes and Noble would have bigger things to think about --like saving the company--then being stupid like this.

Just makes one want to pull the car over and scream at the offspring in the back seat.
