Harvard Novelist Says Copying Was Unintentional - New York Times

Kaavya Viswanathan, the Harvard sophomore accused of plagiarizing parts of her recently published chick-lit novel, acknowledged yesterday that she had borrowed language from another writer’s books, but called the copying “unintentional and unconscious.”

Yeah, right. Now, if only i could unintentionally and unconsciously memorise huge chunks of House of Lords judgements, now that’ll be great. Or better yet, Mckendricks. She’d make a great lawyer since she can either (1) subconsciously memorise judgements, or (2) lie with a straight face, either of which stand her in good stead.

And now, back to unintential and unconscious studying.
