Yes, and that's my only problem with this. What do I care if people read trash? I don't, not one bit--I've read, written and sold plenty of trash! :) That's completely beside the point; the point is the dissemination of lies. If Brown just claimed to have made all this stuff up and laughed it off, the book wouldn't have sold nearly as much, because the articles that are written about it are not about the potboiler aspects, which are dismissed in all these pieces; they're about the "facts" in the book.

I'm anti-stupidity, and this book puts more lies into the world.

Then all fiction is lies ..Your supposed to be able to tell the difference by the time your 4 or 5 years old.If you can't then look on the inside cover of a book .It will tell you fiction or non fiction..No you know the difference. Fiction means NOT TRUE , MADE UP ..it could be based on SOME facts but it's still MADE UP..

Exactly. Imagine how much hype there would be if he said he has a vivid imagination? He might not have succeeded in publishing. He claims to believe the fiction he wrote.

True. Facts he claims are fiction. Yet he claims to believe them. Which is it? Is he claiming he believes 'untruths'?
