People don't seem to like Anne Rice's book. (Gee, I wonder why?) Anne Rice goes and reads reviews on Amazon.com. Anne Rice subsequently throws a fit. (Look for "Anne Obrien Rice"... go back a page or two if it's not on the front page.) The whole thing is bloody hilarious. Talk about inflated ego!
A few choice quotes pasted in the extended entry, because I couldn't resist...
"However there is something compelling about Amazon's willingness to publish just about anything, and the sheer outrageous stupidity of many things you've said here that actually touches my proletarian and Democratic soul."
"You are interrogating this text from the wrong perspective. Indeed, you aren't even reading it. You are projecting your own limitations on it. And you are giving a whole new meaning to the words "wide readership." And you have strained my Dickensean principles to the max. I'm justifiably proud of being read by intellectual giants and waitresses in trailer parks, in fact, I love it, but who in the world are you?"
"And no, I have no intention of allowing any editor ever to distort, cut, or otherwise mutilate sentences that I have edited and re-edited, and organized and polished myself. I fought a great battle to achieve a status where I did not have to put up with editors making demands on me, and I will never relinquish that status."
