Books under scrutiny

In the wake of James Frey's memoir turning out to be fiction, it seems that more and more books are being poked at to see if they stand up to the pressure.

Now, Dan Brown has been accused of plagiarism but for the most part has been denying any possiblility of such a act. Atleast until I read this article.

I'm not sure I care. I have no interest in Dan Brown's works. I'm more interested in the book industry trend. Maybe editors will actually have to start to work again. Who knows?

Not really excited about this

LKH's Anita Blake books are being made into a monthly comic books series.

I really liked the books. I was with her up until about Narcissus in Chains. I even was intrigued by plot developements in Incubus Dreams. But I just no longer have faith that these plots wont just be dropped, like so many others have in her books. I won't even buy the latest book, I just don't care anymore. And I especially don't care about the character featured in the latest novelette (hate that term).

I'm really sad that the series didn't hold up as it grew.
