Junk Shelf
Amanda Auchter (Free subscription) | 14 hours ago
Sometime I miss the harried routine of grad school, which when I say (write) it out loud, you'll think I'm crazy: reading 5 books a month, writing (on average) 6 poems and 2 annotations. I felt so productive, so in tune with things. Then came graduation, teaching, the end of the bubble. I'm a scatterbrained reader right now. What's on my shelf? A ridiculous hodgepodge that I'll pick up depending on...

Blood to ink
Indian Express (Free subscription) | yesterday
Chetan Bhagat's 2 States, or Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. For most bookstores, those are first preference for their show windows. Compared to the situation after 9/11, when a plethora of books on the subject dominated US bookstores, there has been remarkably little on 26/11.

The Independent (Free subscription) | yesterday
"Stephen Brown and Dan Brown are similar in several significant respects," declares the autobiographical blurb in this hoot of a book. "They even share the same DNA (debatable narrative ability)."

The prophecies of Leonardo da Vinci
CANNONFIRE (Free subscription) | yesterday
(This is a bit of non-political weekend fun. Don't take it too seriously.) No, I'm not pulling a Dan Brown on you: Leonardo da Vinci really did write what have been called "prophecies." Many of these quotes seem more like axioms or observations, applicable to any time, although the ones printed here seem intended to be taken as forecasts of things to come. Each prophecy carries a poetic title....

Martin Meenagh Blog (Free subscription) | yesterday
What powers global growth? The picture is Guercino' s Et in Arcadia Ego, which is often sidelined in the popular bourgeois mind by Poussin's picture of sheperds which Dan Brown, Henry Lincoln, and others have turned into a travesty of art-as-something-useful in recent years. Guercino's painting is about the contrast of opposites, and has been seen as a play between harsh reality and dreamy innocence....

The Green Apple Core (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
The last time I wrote for the Green Apple Core, Dan Brown had just renewed his heroic quest to save publishing (I guess the fact that I'm still employed means he succeeded'), the Phillies still had a chance to win the World Series (sure, so did the Giants), Glenn Beck hadn't yet "immortalized" his Nazi fetish on a book cover , and we were all assured Oprah's talk show would go on forever...

My Morning Puzzle
Raindrops (Free subscription) | 11/20/2009
Here it is, seven o'clock in the A.M., and I've completed the daily Sudoku in the morning paper. Whoda thunkit: not about completing the puzzle but doing so by 7:00? I've never been a morning person. Certainly, the normal worker who is nighthawk by nature is forced to stumble out and about in a state of bewilderment at ungodly hours. (Or are they, in point of fact, the godly hours') But once I retired...
