Bookish Matters

The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.

author photos










Kim Barnes (author and also my professor) was not allowed to smile for her author photo. Her publisher rejected 700 possible photos.

    God that would suck! I'm imagining taking photo after photo..."no, you look fat in that one!" "no, you can't smile..."

    Ugh.

    But the end result is nice.

    Yikes! That's a lot of photos. But we all know that authors are humorless, anyway.
