| Roundtabling The Instructions »
- Kindle offers lending and a Facebook group springs up to swap Kindle books with strangers. Will be interesting to watch this develop.
- How many things can you find that are wrong with this 5 E-Book Trends that Will Change the Future of Publishing post? I'd say way more than five, but that's just me. Days later, this still irks me.
- I'm so focused on the reading I didn't finish in 2010 that I'm a bit slapped up side the head about how good 2011 reading is looking. Colm Tóibín, DFW, Chris Adrian, Joanthan Evison, Donald Ray Pollack, Julian Barnes, Nicholson Baker, Marisha Pessl, Haruki Murakami, Péter Nádas and so many more. To simply scan The Millions' list of writers with something new out this year is...whoa.
- I'm still working my way through the NYT Why Criticism Matters piece. You?
- I'll be starting The Instructions tonight as part of the roundtable discussion we'll have here in the coming weeks. I can't help but feel I (and by extension, you) have bitten off more than intended. But it's the beginning of the year, and if we can't find the momentum for this feat now, will we ever? I'll be posting intial thoughts and some broad outlines of what we could do for discussion and posting if we choose. It's up to you.
