    Good old Richard Ford. Let's all pump a few rounds into "All the Sad Young Literary Men" in his honor. Joshua Ferris, you go first.

    I've dealt with Ford before. He's fucking nuts. Look at his author photo! He looks like a fucking albino murder tranny.

    I see nothing wrong with shooting a book. Work through your anger how ever you'd like, as long as you don't harm anyone else.

    @CaptainFantastic: Yes, agreed; there are many ways to get your ya-yas out, as we used to say back in the day. Shooting a book is a fairly benign one. Just don't wave that thing at me!

    For anyone who's wondering, Richard Ford wins here.


    I have nothing to say about all the other books discussed on this topic, but The Sportswriter is worth defending -- with small arms if necessary.

    "People make such a big deal out of it - shooting a book - it's not like I shot her."

    Richard Ford


    Must have been the Mississippi coming out of him.

    @BookishLookish: On Gawker, it must be a formerly-Confederate US state.
