This popped up in an email from Amazon. I only clicked it because it had CJ in the title line. I was just curious if this is someone on here, maybe?

EDIT: And, of course, in my haste, I didn't spell check the title. Sorry. I try to be better than that.

Since there's a disclaimer about copyrights not extending to titles, authors' names, etc., I'm pretty sure this is totally separate from C.J., and might not be done with her knowledge. However, it also would appear to be legal, since the "Live to Read, Read to Live" circular collections might include other authors. I didn't see any indication that there are other authors books listed in other circulars, though.

It's 12 pages in length, just about what a college term paper would be. If all she's doing is listing the titles in order, I don't see it as a problem. I'm not sure whether she's making a profit off it, but even if she's making a little bit of money, I don't see it as an infringement.

Of course, C.J. might disagree, and she might also know this author and have already given permission. The list that C.J. has on her old blog is out of date, but she does have them in order for her earlier works. The Universes

I'm pretty sure that a list that suggests a reading order for another author is not plagiarism or piracy, but a sort of very minimalist literary criticism.

Need to capitalize her middle initial, and add an "r" in her surname, Star-ji.

Oh. Right, thanks Joe.

Ok. I chose to eliminate the periods and just make it "CJ".
