I've got a little list
While shelving yesterday, I discovered another book by Neale Donald Walsch, in his "Conversations with God" series. For those who don't know who this man is (and I believe/hope that's most or all of you), basically, he's written several books about his conversations with the big guy. It may be just me, but I personally am annoyed by this whole concept and think that this guy must have a heck of a set of balls to go ahead and write several books' worth of intimate conversation with God. We're talking sit down over a nice cup of coffee and ask all humanity's petty questions. And get them answered succinctly and understandably. I don't know. It just blows my mind a little. Although I suppose it's nice to know God's down with kinky sex.
Anyway, so the arrival of yet another volume of this crap prompted me to start a list. You're all welcome to suggest additions to the list.
People Who Have Used Up Their Allotment of Words for This Life and Must Now STOP WRITING BOOKS:
1. Sylvia Browne. All of her bazillion books consist of the same crap, just rehashed in some slightly different way. And she keeps writing more. And people keep buying them. I die inside a little every time I have to stick a bestseller sticker on one of them.
2. Dr. Phil. Hasn't written quite as many as some on the list, but earns his number 2 spot due to his tendency (which is shared by Number 1, I might add) of putting his smarmy mug on every goddam book he writes.
3. Deepak Chopra. Deepak, I think you've written enough self-help books. It's time to let the people help themselves. Seriously.
4. Neale Donald Walsch. Already bitched about him.
5. Noam Chomsky. How many ways can one person bitch about politics?
6. VC Andrews. For god's sake, the woman is dead and books keep coming out. Enough!
