I reckon more of his books have been burnt than read. So much insanity, so few words to express it all in.

The short-sightedness beggars belief. Unless they steal them, or print off pirated copies like some sort of incredibly labour-intesive effigies.

They buy a book, EL James reaps the royalty, and then they burn it – thus contributing to global warming or at the very least raising the smog level in their general vicinity.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Funny thing is, I blogged on that whole phenomenon just today. FIFTY SHADES, not book-burning.

Great entry.
