- The Denver Post’s 50 Books to Wrap. No Lost Girls? I mean, it’s a beautiful book that, I suspect, is fun for the whole family. (via Bookdwarf)
- Inland Empire trailer. (via Matthew Tiffany)
- Salman Rushdie no longer fears for his life. He fears that his novels will become increasingly irrelevant.
- RotR fave John Barth gets an all-too-brief writeup from the Baltimore Sun. We’re talking a total of four sentences coming from Barth’s lips that are in the article. This is ridiculous. If you’re going to lowball such an interesting author like Barth, what’s the point in publishing this?
- Tori Spelling is writing a memoir. The first draft was composed by her intern.
- Literary speed dating has made its way to Melbourne.
- It’s a sure bet that Rory Ewins will be at Wembley.
- Shannon Garrity’s Narbonic will be ending on December 31, 2006. The strip has run continuously since July 31, 2000 without missing a single day. So Garrity has earned a vacation. Garrity appeared on The Bat Segundo Show #32. (via The Beat)
- Congratulations, Bookninja.
- Wordie: like Flickr, but without the photos. (via Books, Words & Writing)

“…a beautiful book that, I suspect, is fun for the whole family.”
Sure, if the name of your family is the Aristocrats!
Figures you like Barth.
Barth is God, plain and simple. Sotweed=Heaven.
Yes, fun for the whole family, but good luck getting it back from Uncle Carl. He’s been wandering around lately muttering about Aunt Millie not putting out, and he’s got that weird look in his eye again. Better make sure he doesn’t see it until after everybody else.
