Here’s a list of lists, with a few more lists.
Pretty cool. I’m not gonna reveal how much time I burned over the weekend clicking though all these links and scrolling through the sites.
A neat resource if you’re looking for a little-known title that has garnered some acclaim.
It’s no secret that we are big fans of LibraryThing here at {head}:sub/head. They consistently do good work and offer up cool add-ons like widgets (see sidebar) and search functions.
But the smart folks over at the Fine Books & Collecting blog have a neat article about other options. Some I’ve heard of, others just sound like they’d be fun to try.
I just don’t know if we’d ever have more fun than we do over at LT though…
I just found a book-centric forum buried in al.com. It’s still active with just a handful of posts each month. But it’s been running since 2002. Good to know that Birmingham has things like this out there. I just wish they weren’t so hard to find!
Steven Heller, art director of the NY Times has started a new site. Lots of great books and articles now. Not to mention podacasts of some of his lectures.
There’s a section for a blog. But it’s flagged “coming soon!”. I hate when people do that. If it’s not ready now. Then don’t put it in there. I guess we’ll just have to see how well Heller maintains. And if the blog ever comes to be.
