After doing an Internet search, I seem to be the only one on the planet who doesn't think Piper is wonderful, or that her book is really not that great.

Too long to read, but I’ve never watched Orange and have dismissed it as some kind of left wing trash based on who loves it, the tranny, etc.

Bkmrk.

In EE (Electrical Engineering), there are TWO Kirchoff's Laws.

As for the article, I'll take the author's word that the subject is a self-absorbed snob.

“I haven’t any right to criticise books, and I don’t do it except when I hate them. I often want to criticise Jane Austen, but her books madden me so that I can’t conceal my frenzy from the reader; and therefore I have to stop every time I begin. Everytime I read ‘Pride and Prejudice’ I want to dig her up and beat her over the skull with her own shin-bone.

I watched several episodes.

It sucks. I cannot imagine wasting even a 10th of a second on the book which it was based upon.

[libertarian27]

I never watched a single episode of Orange/Black.
If Hillary does a cameo, I’ll watch that episode, maybe...

I imagine that I’d find Piper Kerman rather tiresome, but the writer of this article seems a dreadful fussbudget.

[Two Kids' Dad]

I’ve watched all but the most recent season of OITNB but haven’t read the book. The character in the series seems to be about as self-absorbed and dislikable as your depiction of the author.

The show is decent but not great by any means. A few of the characters are somewhat interesting. Many more are 2-dimensional clichés.

I try not to judge a book by its cover, but sometimes I take the author's photo into account:

I watched the show with the hubby for a few episodes, but when it became clear that it was all about lesbians, we lost all interest.

I read the book and hated it.

A friend of mine’s wife who is very liberal read it for her book club. She hated it and Piper.

Most of her friends in the book club are politically minded as she is. Most of them hated the book and Piper.

I will never watch that show. The author is a narcissistic lesbian criminal. In a sane world, she would be ostracized for and stigmatized by her chosen behavior. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and could have been anything but chose to be a white collar criminal lesbian.

A box on the slut witch. I will never watch that show.

OITNB - Never read the book but the series is about really messed up people on both sides of the bars. Most wind up dearly paying more than jail time in some cases their lives.

Piper is a criminal bitch the pays heavily for her sins.

[FourtySeven]

I never knew the book (or series) was autobiographical.

I wanted to write a book when I got out.... but then I have a Life, and a Job, and a Harley, and places to go and things to see,,,heh heh
