News Around the Net

Here's a list of the top ten bookstores in the country. Warning: they're all indie stores. Another warning: one of them doesn't exist any more. I question how a store that doesn't exist is better than the thousands of stores that still do.

A Kurt Vonnegut museum and library in Indianapolis. Is this something anybody else is interested in?

The letter Thomas Pynchon wrote in defense of Ian McEwan about his fight against plagiarism accusations.

What position do you read in?
Does no one read sitting in a chair or something? It seems much more unpopular than I thought.

An awesome essay about slavery in fiction. Great read plus recommendations.

A war protest in Germany consisted of "bombing" the city of Berlin with 100,000+ poems.
Sort of a cool idea, but it had to be traumatic for the people for a moment.
