Bloggers We Love: Kassia

Kassia Krozser bitch-slaps your idealism in this post on her Booksquare blog. Kassia's got a great outlook on publishing, and she skewers that NY Mag piece on the end of publishing quite nicely:

You don’t have to read Danielle Steel, but you have to accept this fact: people buy her books and people read her books. There was never a Golden Age of Publishing where people bought only high-brow fiction that elevated the mind. It’s a figment of your imagination. When it comes to fiction, readers flock to books and authors for varying reasons, one being the deep satisfaction that comes from a story that touches them.


Don’t insult the readers, man. It’s just bad form, and you really, really need people to buy your books.

Honestly, I think I am in love.
