Different squids for different kids. I'm currently being absolutely blown away by Neptune's Brood, because I maybe respond to speculative finance problems and that kind of humor in a way that you don't.
I found the Grimnoir moderately amusing and offensive in parts, and it seems to me that voting for it would be akin to tapping one's favorite 80s era Schwarzenegger action movie for an Oscar, but it's your vote.
It also seems to me that, once he made the decision to run as the Republican candidate for Best Novel, he made literary merit irrelevant in his case. Instead, you're now sending a message about gun rights and welfare by whether you upvote or downvote him. And he wanted it that way.
