What is good writing (or good reading). I am a voracious reader, that doesn't mean that I will read anything. Even with the same author depends on the genre, sometime a slight genre change is enough to make me drop some books (for example I like later works of Peter James but don't like the early stuff). How many of us really like those acclaimed writers like Nobel prize winners? I like a few and give majority a wide berth!

A few weeks back there was a bit of dialogue about making payments (to Hat box)that remain anonymous and protect payer from other exposure (e.g. credit card statements). There are pre-paid credit cards (Visa, Mastercard intended as gift cards) that can be purchased with cash at a variety of outlets. These can be used on-line e.g. with Amazon. These will provide sufficient curtain of privacy or limit financial exposure when dealing on-line for one off transactions. There is a small charge for the card but the simplicity makes it worthwhile.
