A New Yorker article on James Cameron. His backstory is fantastic. Well worth the read. It's still unacceptable that Avatar is set in papyrus.
The confessions of a semi-successful author is a Salon.com article on the book publishing industry.

On the last article, I theorize that this fact may play a major part why Thanksgiving is such an enjoyable holiday.

It's genius I tell you, absolutely genius.
