"Daddy Played Piano; Played it Very Well..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

...Ah. I remember. I had a rant. Ought I still subject everyone to this rant? Can it be all that important if I've forgotten it 'til now?

Alas.

If I see another bloody Diana Wynne Jones book with "if you liked Harry Potter, try Diana Wynne Jones!" or similar nonsense written on the cover, I shall scream.

Diana Wynne Jones came years before JKRowling and is still writing, and for God's sake Rowling plagiarised borrowed from her right left and center. I think Diana is a much better writer, and far more interesting. I'm disheartened to see that she's been so horribly upstaged by the person who borrowed from her.

I simply wish she would get the recognition she deserves for being such a great writer, and not be reduced to having 'Waiting for the next Harry Potter book? Pass the time with [insert title here]' stamped on her lovely books.

I hereby apologise to anyone I may offend. *_*

I whole-heartedly agree with you, although those tags on her books are merely for publicity, to get people to buy them, to get people to read them who wouldn't normally, people whose literary world revolves around Harry Potter. I don't suppose that it really means anything, but I do sympathize with you. =( ::snuggle::
