I have just stumbled upon a review of The Camel Bookmobile. I have to say I’m intrigues and have to move it towards the top of my TBR list. I think it’s a novel, but with just enough ‘real world’ to keep it really interesting.
But I have to say I am currently digging Silverman’s Typo. The insights into the business world are great and his reflections on them all are even better. I don’t see how he can keep it up throughout the whole book. We’ll see…
The first one I stumbled upon via LibraryThing. If you like book talk, then BookChase is a good one to keep up with.
Also, here’s a really cool book cover design site. Lots of fantastic pictures to devour of some unique designs, all from an illustrator’s private collection. (via fade theory)
I just read this post about a book publisher stealing Google’s laptops at BEA, in order to teach them a lesson. I wonder what Google would say in response.
J. Ray’s The Ecology of a Cracker Childhood, for the Deep South group‘s “book of the month” reading challenge. Thoughts are posted on LibraryThing. Though I only thought it so-so, I still liked it better than the last one I read for the group, back in December.
This month the group is reading James Still’s River of Earth. So find yourself a copy and join up! It’s a group of some well-read folks and is a neat way to discover books that you would have otherwise never picked up.
