Or should that be 'Amazon buys English'?
There's been a lot of media coverage the last few days about the news that Amazon have just acquired social networking/review site Goodreads. Most of the coverage is pretty negative - readers worried they'll lose their ability to post impartial reviews, authors concerned that poor or misinformed reviews will now follow them onto Amazon. But amongst all the soul-searching there was one spark of humour, in this brilliant bit of sarcasm/satire by Michael Bourne on The Millions. It gave me a much-needed lift and I'm still giggling at the ending.
Many thanks to Sharon for passing it on.
