Should Benj get royalties? Some people love FWFR that they actually mention the website when they try to copy us.
For Word Book Review
Are some of your reviews mentioned as Book to movie reviews?
Funny thing is, they ask for submissions...But no link on if anybody did submit. |

In which case I take dibs on all my reviews to pass over.

Thoughts? Would this be something anyone might want to submit to?

I would probably submit to a FWBR site much less than FWFR. Books are also more difficult because each individual reading a book has a different idea of what the book "looks like" whereas in film, what you see is what you get, and so everyone has the same frame of reference, which makes jokes easier to write for maximum appeal. Also, there is no standard Internet Book Database in the same way we have IMDb that we can check against. I suppose we can use Amazon, but then we get into the problem of editions, reprints, and translations. What about anthologies and reference books? Do pamphlets count? What about government publications and dissertations?
Most of the books that would work with the FWFR model have already been made into movies and those movies have been reviewed. I can imagine that there are famous books that are unlikely to be made into movies, but could lend itself nicely to the FWFR model (The Origin of Species and The Communist Manifesto come to mind). |

Reading books would take timer away from watching movies. Hmmmm I wonder if there is a website called Netboox. |

I like this because the person actually gives credit to FWFR. Most people just rip off other people's ideas. |

He writes, "Please send your reviews to [email protected]," but I'm not going to send him squat.
