AOL's Book Maven

So O.J. Simpson is writing a book about "If I did it," and publisher Judith Regan (never shy about publishing controversial titles) says "This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession." How convenient for Simpson that he gets to put on a Hogwarts-like cloak of hypothesis while he recounts "facts."

We've all heard about it. Most publishers, pundits and plain old everyday people find the whole thing sickening. "This is not about being heard. This is about trying to cash in, in a pathetic way, on some notoriety," said Sara Nelson, editor in chief of Publishers Weekly. "That a person keeps wanting to bring this up seems almost nutty to me."

But what remains in this done deal is that ReganBooks will release 'If I Did It' on November 27. I've spent a couple of days blogging about buying new books so that more new books will be produced -- but this one is the limit for me. I would not want to pick it up, let alone crack the cover.

Will anyone out there buy it? Will anyone out there admit to buying it, or wanting to buy it? What do you think?

  How sick to think OJ has writen this book.  And anyone who would spend their hard earned dollars on it is also sick.  We should not be interested in anything this man has to say.  He's a murderer, and should be under a rock somewhere. Never to be heard from again !!

  Judith Regan has had sex with every man whose book she has published.  
  TALENT?  I think not.
  God Bless America, WE NEED IT.

  SHAME on SEAN HANNITY...
  DEFENDING Judith Regan for publishing this insanity.
  And her, today, for trying to "SPIN" her way out of her obvious greed.
  She LOVES the attention.
  Her and OJ are the perfect couple.
  BOYCOTT THEM ALL.  THEY ARE WHAT IS WRONG WITH AMERICA.

  The whole premise behind this book is nothing but pure greed. This man has taken the life of two human beings and doesnt seem to care. He hides behind a wall of fakeness everyday. Not sure how he can stand to live with himself and shame his kids as well. He obviously will pay the ultimate price later in life. God certainly will make the right decision.
