And once again it’s time to grab the current book on the night table, flip to a random page, and post two sentences from it as teasers for anyone who might be interested in the book.
If you’d like to do the same, feel free to leave a comment here. But remember — NO [...]
[T]he British Library has created this exhibit that will allow people to see the entire thing, thanks to the wonders of modern digital technology. The exhibit is called From Parchment to Pixel: The Virtual Reunification of Codex Sinaiticus, and it will be running from July 6 to September 7, 2009 … [...]
There are so many cool things not available to those of us north of the 49th parallel (I’m lookin’ at you, Hulu.com, not to mention many review copies of new books), but take heart, Canadians! We have some book contests available only to us, from Random House Canada. I thought I’d list some, so you [...]
I was going to wait till I’d seen the whole thing before I posted this, but it’s been a hectic week and I’ve barely had time to think all week. Sorry about that — I hope to be more active next week!

Of course, I’m three weeks late with this, but I’ve been swamped (again) and am just catching up on interesting things. Seth Harwood, in true Seth Harwood fashion after writing and promoting Jack Wakes Up: A Novel, online and in social media before it was ever picked up by a publisher, is now out promoting [...]

So of course I just swooned over this video. *sigh of [...]
It’s time for the Tuesday Teaser again, and you just narrowly missed another Brian Freeman novel, which I finished at midnight last night. Ha! I don’t know if I should do a review right away, or intersperse a few other posts in between. But I digress…
So! Tuesday Teaser is hosted by [...]
I’m not sure I like that this is going to come from Penguin Classics, but on the other hand, it could be kind of entertaining and amusing. It’s definitely in the same spirit of all thinking university students.
Have a look at this really quick blurb on the LA Observed website – Twitter, the books:

So, I saw the first episode of the new BBC TV series, Merlin, last night. And I kept wanting to throw something at the television, yelling, “That’s not how it happened!!”
Which of course is ridiculous, when talking about events that never really happened in the first place.
And even thinking of the literature about [...]
