- Can you guess the classic novel title based on its Library of Congress subject categories? This was actually really fun!
- I’m all for books about books and book lovers, so I can personally attest to the fact that at least two of these mysteries about rare books and bibliophiles are fantastic.
- We’ve all head someone complain about the deterioration of the English language. But this Guardian article contents that it really is time to stop worrying about the so-called decline of the language.
- Talk about blast from the past. Check out this list of the very first books published by some of your favourite publishers.
- And finally, Shane Neilson’s long-awaited Margin of Interest is almost here! Read an excerpt about one of his essays on Maritime poetry on the blog.
I don’t know about you guys, but I have found myself in the middle of a solid five days of delightfully spring-like weather. Coffee + book + porch = my perfect weekend.
Cheers,
