Writing - what's the point?

Came across this the other day:

It is almost reassuring to read Jonathan Green's Stormslayer and realize that he is still one of the most sadistic gamebook designers in existence.

It goes on... To read more of Mrs Giggles(!) review of Stormslayer yourself, click here - go on, I dare you! Having read more myself I was reminded of this quote by the novelist Kingsley Amis:

If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing.

So there. ;-)
