[Coda]

It has a massive fan base because it's Twilight with the names changed to protect the innocent trademark rights. It's readily-available highly-publicized sexual fantasy fiction in a popular genre, which means it's going to sell a zillion copies EVEN THOUGH it's crap. (Most people who read those kinds of books aren't exactly book critics, nor are they looking for good literature.) I mean, Twilight was bad enough on its own, but Fifty Shades is literally a Twilight fan fiction that got sanitized for publication.

As for me, I recently finished Accelerando: http://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog...celerando.html
