Two Book-y Links, and more

Jul 18, 2010 22:21

First, Pitt Press is having a half-off sale through August 1. They publish some great poets. I think I have some Larry Levis and Maurice Kilwein Guevara in my future.

Amazon is offering a year of free two-day shipping to university students--there's a link on the homepage. Sadly and publicly, I drink the Amazon Kool-Aid. Don't tell the independent bookstores that I love.

Also: Tim Winton is a hella writer. I stumbled across Dirt Music at a library book sale. Wow. I think the plot and tension drifted at the end, but the writing is magnificent. I've ordered more (see above).

Unrelated, and too lazy to make additional posts, Despicable Me is good fun. No, it isn't Pixar and yes the tropes are a little tired, but ignore the critics: it's a fun, laugh out-loud movie.

Lastly, I stabbed 700 tuna heads in the eye last week. How's that for a yummy summer vacation diversion? Lobsters, apparently, love rotty tuna heads.

That is all.
