Thanks, Todd. Am I ignored, superfluous or too bossy?
ReplyDelete(as evidence of how much I need writing practice, I was distracted while writing this and it became partially gibberish as originally posted...QED...)
ReplyDeleteJust because one starts a meme, doesn't mean that one can stop it, or even stymie it--you're not superfluous, domineering nor actually ignored, just perhaps a bit...optimistic? I know I need the writing exercise. I think most of the other contributors need to keep a cycle (you break it, you lose it), or simply need to keep bringing these books back before the public--I certainly have some evangelical zeal in some cases. I like the process by which I land on choices for a week, even as they do stray way beyond the bounds of crime fiction...even as they always have at least Some relevance to some CF...as all human activity does...
Not to mention that they're fun, even as wrestling with Blogspot to get them listed correctly ain't.
ReplyDeleteThe meme is bigger than the blogger.
