The list of books involved is now really long.

It seems it's happening based on key words and search terms. Stuff we now know to have been hit with this includes a bunch of YA books, Jacqueline Carey's books, a number of biographies and autobiographies (including John Barrowman's), a range of self-help books, and even books from both conservative and liberal perspectives that address the topic of homosexuality in terms of the Bible.

Someone twittered Stephen Fry to tell him the sales rank on his biography had gone AWOL, too.

My head's still hurting from this level of stupidity.

[rm.livejournal.com]

Beautiful.

[kessie.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm desperate to see how he's going to respond.

[brewsternorth.livejournal.com]

OOOOOO. Now that will put Twitter's nose out of joint! @stephenfry's one of the biggest names in Twitter, and if the response to that bit of news is anything like what it was on copperbadge's flist...

I know. You don't mess with Stephen Fry. :D

He is my favorite sorrowful queer. Seriously. Like, I'm completely fascinated by these roles he always winds up playing -- Wilde, his role in V for Vendetta. I love so much of his work of all types, but that in particular always strikes me, the sorrow in the parts he does.

[kessie.livejournal.com]

I heart him so much. Wilde is one of my favourite movies (I honestly can't think of anyone who could play Wilde better) and I felt like I'd been sucker-punched during V for Vendetta.

I secretly still hope he'll have a cameo in House. It would possibly make my decade. (I hoped the same thing when Fry played Booth's therapist in Season 2 of Bones. *coughs*)

I secretly still hope he'll have a cameo in House.

That would be EXCELLENT. (And I'm sure Fry *and* Laurie would get a kick out of it.)

Yeah, @stephenfry and @neilhimself have BOTH picked this up.

This is gonna get interesting (in that "oh god, oh god, we're all gonna die" sense) really quick.

And I've reported the whole thing to GLAAD.

This is going to blow up on Amazon. And they have to, as far as I am concerned, do more than fix it. Public apology and donations to some sort of GBLTQ or freedom of speech group.

This. Absolutely.

My Gods, is this whole thing going to happen on Easter Sunday?
Oods bless you little Internet.

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Gods, not Oods.
(Well, it's not exactly a Freudian slip...)
