	Leaving Small's Hotel: About the Book
		And in the novel's clever preface, Leroy acknowledges the existence (albeit imaginary) of one Eric Kraft—“a useful fiction,” he tells us—and laughs at Kraft’s fanciful belief that Leroy is the literary avatar rather than the other way around.
		The hotel business isn’t doing so well; there’s been a decrease in guests, and there isn’t enough money to fix the leaky roof or mend the cistern.
		A wonderful matryoshka of a novel, with at least five stories nested one inside the other.

	The Forager: April 2004 Archives
		Finally, Type (3) caper movies are combos: they combine heisting money with a subsequent attempt to con that money away from the heisters.
		Incidentally, while the subtext of Type (1b) caper movies is often points up the similarities between filmmaking and heisting, very few Type (2b) caper movies acknowledge any connection between the art of the long con and the art of the silver screen.
		The kind of satisfaction we get from watching a Type (1a) caper movie is the same kind we might get from watching a meticulously constructed house of cards fall down or from watching a highly engineered F-1 racecar crash in slow motion.

	SELF-CONTROL - 1
		During the first half of the novel, Laura realises that her father is hopeless at managing money, and has paved the way for her destitution.
		As a comparison, if we think of a more canonical novel, such as Mansfield Park, it is clear that those who do not follow Christian principles, either on their estate at home or in the empire will get their just rewards, as Fanny, resisting the frivolity of theatrical representations, gets hers.
		Luckily, at the half-way stage, she is taken in by her aunt, Lady Pelham; her very modest fortune is restored, and money matters vanish while pressure upon her to yield to Hargrave increases, for her aunt is in cahoots with him.

	Amazon.com: The Jasmine Trade (Eve Diamond Novels): Books: Denise Hamilton
		Denise Hamilton's debut novel delves into the affluent immigrant life style of wealthy parents commuting from the Asian mainland while their teen age children reside in high-end neighborhoods with plenty of money and minimal supervision.
		Though the plot of Denise Hamilton's novel of Asian gangs and sex slavery is nothing new, where the book shines is in its description of Asian-American culture-- Hamilton obviously knows the many conflicts these people face in straddling two divergent cultures, and it is this which keeps the novel interesting.
		This is Hamilton's first novel, and it shows a little: everything comes together too easily in the end, and the climax seems stagey and overplayed, like a gunfight in an old western movie.

	Whatever: The Stupidity of Worrying About Piracy
		I made $4,000 by making "Agent to the Stars" a "shareware" novel, so I suspect that even if there were no way to formally monetize electronic copies of book, people would still be able to make money.
		I made $4,000 by making "Agent to the Stars" a "shareware" novel, so I suspect that even if there were no way to formally monetize electronic copies of book, people would still be able to make money."
		Now, as regards my little shareware experiment, Fred, the average advance on a first-time science fiction novel from a major publisher is around $6,500, and most authors never see a penny after their advance.

	Volume 4 - Chapter 11: Girls

	Excessive Candour
		As we read, we do begin to understand that something profound is happening to the Western world during the years of the Cycle, and we begin to understand the significance of the use of the word "currency" to describe money: because money may be dumb, but currency is information.
		In the end, the problem with the entire Baroque Cycle is that it is not currency.
		Because they are writers of historical romances, and a daft deft historical romance hides within the petrified corpus of The Baroque Cycle.

	For Us, the Living
		The money earned by this novel will be going to directly and substantially support Heinlein's dream, and the dream we, Heinlein's Children, share.
		For this reason, after a few publisher rejections, the novel was tabled by Heinlein, but the content was mined for his later stories and novels.
		As most novels have dedications at the beginning, the dedication of "For Us, the Living" will be to us...

	Virginia (novel) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The novel ends on a somewhat optimistic note when Virginia, again alone in the empty house in Dinwiddie, receives a letter from her son telling her that he is going to leave Oxford before he has completed his two-year course at the university in order to come back and stay with his mother.
		An aspiring playwright, his literary ambitions are more important to him than money, and he refuses his uncle's offer to work in his bank.

		The novel heavily references bands that influenced Welsh's writing, including David Bowie, Joy Division, the Pogues, The Smiths and especially Iggy Pop, whom all the characters idolize.

	MONEY - LoveToKnow Article on MONEY
		The position of money as the medium of exchange introduces a further novel feature; for the market in its case is world-wide and the demand is unceasing; money is consequently in a constant state of supply and demand.
		Similarly, the analogy between representative money and token money is deserving of attention, and suggests the desirability of the latter being regarded as in some respects a fiduciary issue, for which the issuing authority incurs responsibility.
		That the material of money shall be the same throughout, so that one unit shall be equal in value to another, is a further desideratum, which is as decidedly lacking in cattle-currency as it is prominent in the metals.

	Banquet Speech, 1974
		The hero meets three blind beggars and promises them a valuable coin to pay for their food and lodging at a nearby inn; but when they all reach out for the money, he gives it to none of them, and each supposes that the others have received it.
		His blind heroine, Dea, is portrayed as "absorbed by that kind of ecstasy peculiar to the blind, which seems at times to give them a song to listen to in their souls and to make up to them for the light which they lack by some strain of ideal music.
		Thus, Oedipus was blinded as a punishment for incest, and Shakespeare's Gloucester for adultery.

	Rob Thomas - Author, Musician, Screenwriter
		April 1999 -- Thomas signs a four-year television development deal with 20th Century Fox for more money than he ever dreamed.
		Thomas is the former executive producer and creator of the ABC television series "Cupid." Immediately upon becoming a television producer, Thomas installed a jacuzzi at his house and had his office couch Scotch-guarded.
		Thomas' lean prose style reflects a lifelong alphabetical stinginess also expressed in his personal relationships (his ex-girlfriend is named Ed, his father Bob), early rock influences (U2 and REM), favored musical instrument (bass), dominant basketball skill (D), and the names of his pet cocker spaniels (Owen and Everett, inevitably foreshortened as O and E).

	keyframe.org On the Remake. Part One
		The remake would be the logical result of movie business, which is, as we know, all about making money.
		However divergent the motivations for a remake might be and however different the remakes on their own are there is one thing they all have in common: they are based on an earlier film.
		The greater the distance of original and remake, the less strong is the provocation the remake constitutes.

	MI6 :: Diamonds Are Forever (1971) :: James Bond 007
		Maxwell's agent demanded money on the grounds that the few days she was required to appear in the Bond films was getting in the way of the rest of her career.
		Of more immediate importance though was the question of which novel was going to get the Eon treatment next - without a script there was no point looking for a new Bond.
		Eon's Las Vegas based legal advisor, Sidney Korshak suggested Jill St John for the part of Plenty O'Toole and duly auditioned, apparently facing competition from Raquel Welch, Jane Fonda and Faye Dunaway.

	Boom and bust, then and now / Novel of high finance alternates between 1690s London and 1990s New York
		Merrick isn't a young man who lusts for money because he's monochromatically arrogant; he lusts because he slowly comes to feel he has no choice.
		Gary Krist's third novel, "Extravagance," looks at those questions and responds with a knowing smirk: The only thing to learn from a bubble bursting is that there will be another bubble, and that it will burst again.
		The novel's main strength, though, is Krist's refusal to be didactic about his boom-bust theme.

	Money
		Global Money Consultants has a page on the Austrian “Sparbuch” that suggests another novel way for shadowrunners to be paid, and the site is full of other wonderfully useful information.
		Filtering your money from a secure bank account into an offshore holding company, then into a local holding company, then onto your credstick as a “bonus for exceptional work” or an “incentive” is then one of the most secure methods for getting your cred laundered properly.
		The best option for keeping your money someplace safe is to place it in a numbered bank account where no one’s likely to be able to get at it.

	Justine Larbalestier - First Novel Advance
		Scott Westerfeld's $4,000 advance for his first novel Polymorph in 1996 was enough to pay four and a half's months rent on his two-room apartment a mere three blocks (and thirty years) away from Chip's old flat.
		The most common of these (after "my sister naked") is "first novel average advance" or some variant thereof.
		So to first novel advances: I asked fellow Aussies, folks from the UK, Canada and the US how much they got for their first novel.

	Amazon.com: Books: Diaspora: A Novel
		Though the novel often reads like a series of tenuously connected graduate theses and lacks the robust drama and characterizations of good fiction, fans of hard SF that incorporates higher mathematics and provocative hypotheses about future evolution are sure to be fascinated by Egan's speculations.
		This book would be worth the price in hardcover -- so buy the paperback and use the money you save to buy some other Egan books (Permutation City, which is a sort of prequel, might be a good next purchase if you like this one).
		Diaspora isn't a perfect book, but the scope of its ambition is greater than 90% of the stuff out there.

	Amazon.com: Diary: A Novel: Books: Chuck Palahniuk
		Her artistic talent is a tool in a strange supernatural game played out by the so-called upscale residents of a closeted community called Waytansea Island, who every hundred years or so conspire to rid their town of tourists and restore their old money status, through an evil game of mass murder and recrimination.
		The book is constructed as a diary supposedly written by Misty Marie, but maybe it is really the diary of her predecessor victim from a hundred years ago, while Misty tries to escape this prescribed destiny.
		As her husband languishes in a coma, Misty begins this diary of spooky doings on the resort island of Waytansea that are somehow related to the couple.

	FindLaw's Writ - Hodes: "Money to Burn": A Judge's Novel About A Fictional Judge Who Turns Criminal
		Money To Burn is the first novel by federal trial judge James Zagel of the Northern District of Illinois.
		For this fictional federal judge, at least, the image of omniscience a judge needs to project is just that--a trapping of the judicial role just like the black robe.
		He also recruits a married couple, Charity and Trimble, who are disgruntled workers at the Fed. Zagel tells an exciting tale of Devine's planning the crime with his cohorts, and then of his efforts to escape detection by the increasingly encroaching Detective Plymouth.

	Interview with Tom Wolfe
		Wolfe proposes that if the 1980s were the decade of "money fever," then the '90s are the decade of "moral fever," with debate over moral codes and cultural values taking center stage in national politics.
		Wolfe is the author of 11 books, including "The Right Stuff," "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test," "From Bauhaus to Our House" and "The Bonfire of the Vanities." His newest novel, which he is completing, was tentatively titled "The Mayflies," but Wolfe says "those flies kept making me itch," so he's working on a new title.
		But a general fever doesn't mean that anything is going to change; it just means the emphasis is there, that something could change.

	He's gotta have it June 20, 2001 Lit July 2001
		Gay letters are, if anything, in something of an eclipse, after several "big" gay novels bombed in the first half of the 1990s and big New York publishers, ever vigilant with respect to the fabled bottom line, concluded that there was no more money to be made from tales of Sodom on whatever scale.
		It is a nice novel, nicely written, whose nice narrator, Nick Broome, is meant to be lovable in his rueful dorkiness.
		It is the sort of novel I'm afraid we'll be seeing a lot of in years to come, because it is a novel about Bringing Up Baby.

		MAD MONEY follows the trials and troubles of Madeline Carter, a successful New York City stockbroker, who trades in a career she's spent the past decade building for the quieter life as a day trader in Malibu, California.
