A few weeks ago, I wrote a glowing review of the podcast Missing Richard Simmons. Now, I'm not so sure, and I've a lot to consider regarding the relationship between pop culture and fan, between subject and reporter. Read my messy thoughts on Bibliodaze.
"Awards are not and have never been solely used as a marker of merit, and shouldn’t be viewed as such: But what they can be used for is to provide a weathervane of the changing industry and the people and trends that drive it. That’s why what the Sad/Rabid Puppies have done matters. They may not be the most prominent voices in the industry, and their abhorrent views may be condemned in public, but the fact that they were allowed to fester for so long undisturbed speaks volumes."
Romance! Feminist comics! Unreliable narrators! Rockstar memoirs! And the one book I just found insufferable!
Check out Bibliodaze for my list of my favourite books of 2015, and the one really bad one. Because I know that's what you're really interested in.
