Just had an envy spike. Belle de Jour got a book deal. Which is good. I think she's interesting and I read everything she writes, so... yeah it's fine. Her life, and the way she renders it, would make an excellent book. Check out her blog [see links] to see the future bestseller in its earliest form. And seriously, I don't actually think Symposiasts could be a book [well, not a good one], I just wish that enough people were reading it that publishers would consider giving us a deal simply to cash in on the popular support. And the words book deal, they give me shivers. I just irrationally want one because other people are getting them.
