News Around the Net

A lot of authors are about to become much more depressed about how little their book is selling. At least they'll all look better than my BookScan sales data.

I set up this post last week, but there are a ton more up. Here's The Millions's A Year In Reading series. Now there are parts featuring Aimee Bender and Margaret Atwood.

Student protesters in London used books as shields against policemen.
