Why Books as Children is Just Plain Creepy
From a random author interview:
“My books are my children. I love them all, and could never pick a favorite.”
Same author, different interview:
“Oh yes, I trunked several of my children back when I was starting out.”
The author at a booksigning:
“Psst. Hey, you. Want to buy one of my kids? Take two, the older one and the newborn!”
The bookstore staff three months later:
“Time to clear some shelf space for the new arrivals. Get out there and start stripping children.”
The library, where anyone can– On second thought, I should probably stop. I think we all get the idea.
