The publisher&#39;s job is to turn a series of manuscripts originating from different suppliers into consistently produced books, mass-produce them, and sell them into distribution channels.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.antipope.org\/charlie\/blog-static\/2010\/02\/common-misconceptions-about-pu.html\">Charles Stross: Common Misconceptions About Publishing: #1<\/a> &#8211; Publishing is a recondite, bizarre, and downright strange industry which is utterly unlike anything a rational person would design to achieve the same purpose (which I will loosely define for now as &quot;put authors books into the hands of readers while making a profit, to the satisfaction of all concerned&quot;).<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/daniel_kahneman_the_riddle_of_experience_vs_memory.html\">TED Talks: Daniel Kahneman &#8211; The riddle of experience vs. memory<\/a> &#8211; About how our &quot;experiencing selves&quot; and our &quot;remembering selves&quot; perceive happiness differently.
