After two solid days spent in a fog-bound car on a moose-laden highway, I am finally back to a place from which I can blog. I am simultaneously relieved and disappointed. Here’s some news I missed Monday and Tuesday:
- RIP: Carolyn Rodgers, poet, dead at 69
- Universities banning iPads?
- 50 best moments of author-on-author linguistic violence
- Ever had a whopper of a library late fine? Don’t worry, you’re in good company
- Enough with the Who Wrote Shakespeare? crap
- How can one company no one’s ever heard of produce as many titles in a year as the rest of the mainstream market combined?
- Orange Prize shortlist not a shocker
- Forbes’ list of richest characters
- Glück hates NaPoMo schtick
- Unproduced screenplays by intellectuals
- You all undoubtedly heard about the Penguin cookbook in Oz that had a typo calling for “freshly ground black people” instead of pepper… well, apparently Penguin let someone with a mouth at the mic who called those upset by the mistake “small-minded” and now they’re backpedalling and pulping the whole thing
- Latest on Oxford poet race
- Best stoner novels of all time
- Can digital resurrection save dead/dying print magazines?
- Amazon’s day apparently not complete without major lawsuit or embarrassment … This is a textbook cry for help people… Amazon? Do you need a hug?
- iPad mugging costs man a finger (warning: gross)
- BC on the lookout for book-loving silver fox (and mobster/murderer) who looks like he might be dating your grandma
- Do you think JK might run one day?
- So, how does one pass the time at Riker’s Island? I mean, besides crafting cafeteria-tray shiv-turning kevlar?

I think it is nice that Amazon is fighting for my right to privacy. I really don’t want the government to track my reading habits so they can suck more sales tax out of me. Does anybody except the greedy politicians want that?
Amazon has invaded Canada and goes to war with North Carolina; meanwhile Google takes on the federal government and China. Gee, who knew retail had the makings for a thriller novel.
