Entertainment from Amazon.com

Whatever you think of Amazon (it's saving the midlist novel and destroying the independent bookseller…making the bookstore irrelevant and rescuing book-deprived buyers in rural America…bringing on the apocalypse and allowing readers to find obscure books that would otherwise die), it certainly provides food for thought for us writers.

Here's the most recent "whoa!" moment, provided to me by Amazon…when I signed on, I got one of those "recommendation" pages. And here it is. Look at the Story of the World, Volume 2…and the other titles viewed along with it.

Either people are using Volume 2 of the Story of the World for a slightly older audience than I'd intended…or there's a subtext I'm not aware of.

Hmmm….
