Lit Bits & A Bit About Keeping Your "For Work" Reading on the Down Low

• This makes me completely crazy. Wolf Hall? Really? Pfft.
• The only saving grace in the mess that was this year's Tournament of Books is John's list of books he can't wait to read by the time next year's tournament rolls around.
• I'm still thinking about National Poetry Month and...well...I'll let you know if I decide to do something amazing.
• The LA Times Festival of Books is around the corner. I will begin fretting about panel scheduling soon. 
• I'm reading Marisa Silver's short story collection Alone With You. I'm not loving it as much as I'm supposed to. I liked The God of War, so I'm perplexed. I blame 2666. Nothing since (other than business books, see below) has taken hold of me. I miss being taken hold of by a book. I need to fix this immediately, but I'm now afraid to pick up nearly every book in the TBR pile for fear it will be more of the same. I'll give the rest of Silver's collection another go and I'll keep my last tidbit of Bolano crack (The Savage Detectives) nearby just in case. 
• I am tempted to re-read all of Nabokov or similar. Might cure what currently ails me.
• I've been doing a ton of reading for specific posts for other outlets (not that I'm an outlet, but you get the point) and it occurs to me that I've been very secretive about it all - not posting about my thoughts post-read, not listing the "read" books in "What I'm Reading Now"...not even in the Read in 2010 column to the far right once I've finished. I'm not sure why that is, but I'm curious to know if you all do the same?  If you're reading to review or in some way discuss (for what I do can hardly be called reviewing) a book, do you keep it separate from your own book blog? Am I being nutty about it and so should start including it all here as well? Hmmm...
• Same is true for actual business books. I never list those, though I read many for client work. This blog has never really been about reviewing Crush It, or the latest Seth Godin book, but I read them all. Do you care? Or do you love, as I do, the total privacy the Kindle offers in that I can be reading the latest techie business book and no one has to know?
• Also. The iPad. I'm predisposed to hate it on spec. But...call me ever so curious about what it will mean for books & book publishing. You?
