Re: RARA-AVIS: Re: Amazon.com Top 50 Hard-Boiled

Sun, 07 Jun 1998 18:56:51 +0000 Who the hell cares about Amazon's classifications? They are a commercial
entity with no interest in the art of writing or in the hardboiled
subgenre. Let's not act like sheep. We know enough about the subject to
form our own opinions without the help of "polls" (sorry, Kevin, no
offense) or "best-seller lists". What Amazon lists is completely
immaterial.

Perhaps I'm out of line, but discussions that are artificially caused by
blatantly commercial interests have a way of irritating me where it
hurts most.

Best regards,
