And yes, Enthusiasms seems geared to bloggers and our little obsessions :)<br /><br /><b>Lizzy</b> - hope you're feeling better now too!<br /><br /><b>Helen</b> - you're welcome :) I agree the Guardian list is a little odd - JKR has sold millions, of course, but she doesn't seem to try and use the influence she could have. How often do you see her name recommending new books? I never have.<br /><br /><b>Margaret</b> - I wasn't... but have seen now! Thanks :)<br /><br /><b>Nancy</b> - thanks! Almost recovered now, just coughing away to myself quietly...<br /><br /><b>Susan</b> - what *is* it about lists that make them so appealing? Goodness knows...<br /><br /><b>LindyLou</b> - thank you :)<br /><br /><b>Cat</b> - all those women with masculine-sounding names, how confusing! ;) I do get Flannery O'Connor mixed up with Flann O'Brien.. having read nothing by either, of course.<br /><br /><b>Alexander</b> - thanksStuckInABookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10017836017530130716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-5855921782511319732011-09-26T17:52:12.914+01:002011-09-26T17:52:12.914+01:00Interesting post!!

(Like many books.)<br /><br />That Guardian list of the most powerful people in the book world was interesting but a bit weird. Is J.K. Rowling really more powerful and influential than any publishing CEO? Malcolm Gladwell more than Richard and Judy?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-446727280609751914.post-85903834752697263472011-09-24T11:17:25.730+01:002011-09-24T11:17:25.730+01:00You and I are suffering from similar afflictions t...You and I are suffering from similar afflictions this weekend, Simon.
