Says the same guy who said the most popular book of the last decade is crap. [/ QUOTE ] Be careful now - The Bible and "Quotations from Chairman Mao" are/were both incredibly popular books, so "popular" most definitely does not necessarily imply "not crap"

There was that series of fundamentalist Christian apocalyptic pulp fiction that sold like a bazillion copies. I think it even outsold the Bible. EDIT: Just looked it up. A Grisham book. From CNN: "The best-selling single book from the list was Grisham's "The Pelican Brief," which registered 11,232,480 copies sold. Number two was also a Grisham title; "The Client," which sold 8.1 million copies."

I can see how the discerning eye might call it crappy. Kinda the literary equivalent of a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, I;d say.

supersystem [/ QUOTE ] Clearly the key to being a superior poker author is reprinting the same content with italics changed to BOLD. Or was it the other way around...
