Reflections on a year of reading

admin ― 8 days ago
www.themillions.com ― Doug Bruns spent a year reading long novels (2666, Infinite Jest, Olive Kitteridge, et al.) and reflects on the experience here. I especially love his description of book reading as an addiction. As he says, "A reader cannot help but read a good book." Yes. (General Fiction)

The Digital Faulkner

Ashley ― 15 days ago
www.npr.org ― Such brilliant news: UVA has put Faulkner's lectures online from the two years he spent there as a writer-in-residence. To listen to his lectures and his discussions with students, I would be in heaven.

I love the silly parts of the internet as much as anyone else, but ideas like this make the internet transcendent. (Classics)

Gen X at Mid Life

Ashley ― 8 days ago
www.thedailybeast.com ― Bret Easton Ellis and Jennifer Egan both have new books out that examine Gen X (my generation) at mid-life. (Doesn't "mid-life" sound so much better than "middle aged"?) I'm not a big fan of Ellis, but I don't know that I'll be able to resist catching up with Julian and Clay in their 40s. And Egan's book has had lots of buzz on Twitter.
