FYI, here's a place to practice some activism (plus you get a free ebook if you subscribe):

http://offtheshelf.com/

 "Off the Shelf" - a new website hosted by S&S - will highlight previously published books through a daily original review or essay centered on a title released at least one year earlier.

Carolyn Reidy, president and CEO of Simon & Schuster? “With Off the Shelf, we aim to bring attention to books that were bestsellers you might have read or wanted to, books that you may have missed in the often overwhelming number of titles that get published every year, or simply books that have touched us as readers, left an indelible mark on us, and become friends that we revisit often."

Reviews for the site will be written by S&S staffers, with occasional guest reviews, interviews, articles and reading lists from authors and editors. Off the Shelf will also include original video content, as well as media from other publishing houses.

Perhaps we should lobby for some of our favorites by submitting guest reviews, interviews, articles etc.?
