I do agree, the best non-fiction writing has to actually be devoid of fiction. But isn't this taking things a bit far? Two Seattle readers have filed a lawsuit to recover the value of their lost time, spent reading James Frey's now-infamous hoax-riddled memoir, "A Million Little Pieces."

In a lawsuit filed Thursday, Seattle Attorney Mike Myers lists as plaintiffs two Seattle residents, Shera Paglinawan and Stuart Oswald, who each received or purchased the book "before news of the book's falsity was disseminated."

The plaintiffs are seeking class-action status.

Myers is a Seattle personal injury attorney and Seattle U. law grad, who enjoys skiing vacations in Whistler and Argentina. Not much info. on Paglinawan. Oswald is a Laurelhurst resident and VP for GMAC Commercial Mortgage in Bellevue who is sometimes quoted in the local business press. Reached on the phone today, he confirmed his identity as one of the plaintiffs mentioned in the news report. He added, "I am being replaced, though, so I've got no comment. Thanks." (Click).

Good move Stu, Baby. But what came over you in the first place? And a memo to Attorney Myers: This kind of stuff may be part of the plaintiff bar's game plan, but you're giving your colleagues a black eye.
