Linkblogging in brief

[keilexandra]

Justine Larbalestier rants--mysteriously--about the worst book ever written. I've tried Googling it, but no luck. Does it sound familiar to anyone?

OMG.

"we are accepted submissives from authors today!"

AAAAAAAARGH.

I can't decide which is worse, the website design or the grammar.

I have a weak spot for annoying animations and garish colors. But on the other hand, the GRAMMAR. *shudder*

"UR HOME IS FOR BOOOKS!!!" Ooh, I like that. From now on I'm going to call books "boooks". (That quoted sentence is terrible. I have no idea what it means.)

This is what immediately came to mind when I read the blog entry, but in the comments she specifies that the author is a single individual known to be vindictive.

So my next guess is something by Dan Brown, but his prose is mostly just amateurish rather than mind-bogglingly bad.

I believe it means, "We are the home for your books" or something along those lines.

Just my interpretation, since the original is obviously crystal clear and beautiful.

I don't believe it's ATLANTA NIGHTS--that's a well known hoax, right up there with "The Eye of Argon." We did a circle-reading of the latter at Alpha, and it was the funniest two hours of my entire life.

Dan Brown doesn't describe every tedious detail of the character's life, and I rather like his books. Hmm, any other ideas?
