Novelists are held accountable for what they write at Barnes and Nobel. That's exactly my point. Here's a passage from the best selling book of all time. We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for? If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar. I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.

Jim, what are the chances of you voting Clancy or King for gov't office? The vivid imagination that is a asset to an author is a down right liability when running for office. It would be easy just to say, it's all fiction so what does it matter? Problem is that fiction usually has its roots in real life........

you guys seem quite shallow for supposedly being a thinking bunch of fellows(no disrespect intended). I am just an old redneck, and even I can see that even if wEBB'S books ARE fiction, if a constant strain in THE books is about degrading and demeaning women, then there is something at the least, weird, at most dangerous going on in his mind. And writing about a man that grabs his son off the road, flipping him upside down and stuffing his **** into his mouth makes the guy look like a pervert deluxe, fiction or no.
