I'm alive and well, mostly, and officially as buried as I've been in maybe the last year. So, links, because I have 80 billion other things I should be doing. Enjoy!
On Campus, Vampires Are Besting Beats ~ A Washington Post article on what college kids are reading for fun these days. It's not just quantity, it's quality, folks.
A Story of a Teenager's Suicide Quietly Becomes a Best Seller ~ A New York Times article on Jay Asher's YA novel Thirteen Reasons Why, and on Asher himself. For those of you frustrated by the publishing industry, please take note of how many books Asher had turned down prior to this particular sale.
Down and Out in Paris ~ Jeanette Winterson writes about the famous Paris bookstore Shakespeare and Company for the Guardian.
