<description> This week&apos;s books lead is a great story by Charles Mudede about the fact that most, if not all, writers write for one person. The writer that Charles uses to explore this idea? Seattle Post-Intelligencer columnist Robert Jamieson. I can&apos;t read this passage of Charles&apos;s story without laughing out loud, which is really rare for me: Jamieson&apos;s reader is a reasonable man. When he reads, &quot;I&apos;d say that&apos;s a wise allocation of limited police resources,&quot; he thinks to himself: &quot;Yes, I have to agree with you, Jamieson. This is a wise allocation of police resources.&quot; Does Jamieson have an...</description>

<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm in a bad mood to start with. And reading anything that Charles writes makes my head hurt which really doesn't improve my mood. </p>

<p>But, just in case I wasn't getting some uber cool idea that Charles was trying to convey (and because Paul recommended it and I loooove Paul), I tortured myself by reading this article twice. </p>

<p>Writers write for themselves. Charles is no different. This is an ego piece and frankly would've been a lot better with more examples than just Jamieson. Instead it comes off as a condemnation of the "man in the middle" Jamieson writes for. And also a bit like an inside joke, like ooo see this award winning journalist who is really a hack.</p>

<p>Of course, since I am apparently neither Jamieson's or Charles' target person all of this was wasted on me. </p>

<p>And, really I'm only writing this post for one person, me. So suck it the rest of you.</p>

<p>p.s. @3 Will, honey, I really thought we had the start of a beautiful relationship but you are going to have to buy me a lot of pie to make up for the fact that you are the man Charles writes for. </p>]]></description>
