Spy novel pulled for plagiarising Gardner, Benson, Ludlum and McCrary

Wow, this guy has some issues. He's getting hammered on the comments section under his article. Follow Shark's link. People object to his equating his obession with being a famous writer, to having an addiction.

First comment: "Good essay. Who wrote it? "

We live in a society where people are given Nobel Peace Prizes for work they've yet to do, Iran sits on the United Nations Human Rights Council, and Britney Spears has received nominations for Best Female Vocal Performance.

"Awards" are meaningless these days. At least this author had the balls and the initiative to go out and steal something from someone else rather than have it just handed to him.

I'm still not sure he didn't plagiarize his own mea culpa. 8) Although the patheticness does ring true.

As one of the comment writers noted though, nowhere in his ramblings is an apology to readers, publishers, retailers, all those he inconvenienced. Rather he offers up a rambling explanation of his psychosis.





At least the whole incident didn't put him back on the booze.
