 | From Megan Romer, your About Books & Literature Editor I'm spending this week and probably most of next doing one of life's more obnoxious tasks: moving. Yuck. Part of moving means packing up all of your stuff, of course, and every time I do that, I come to the realization that I own enough books to open my own private library. | |
Celebrate National Library Week!
National Library Week coincides with Pay Your Big Fat Dumb Taxes Day here in the States (I'm pretty sure that's not what it's actually called). It's excellent timing -- writing gigantic checks is a good reminder that saving money is a good thing, and libraries are a great way to save money. They're also a good way to save yourself from packing up 50 boxes of books every time you move.
| 'The Thing About Life is That One Day You'll Be Dead'
Dead... probably crushed under the weight of 7 kerjillion novels and just about every musician biography ever written, in my case. Seriously, though, this new memoir by David Shields looks rather quirky to me, which is hugely appealing, and so now I have to buy it and add it to the collection. See the problem?
| Poetry Book Giveaway for National Poetry Month 2010
You mean to tell me that there's a concerted effort across the poetry blogosphere to give me even more books? That's outstanding, because only about 14 of these boxes that are currently surrounding me are poetry books, which is fairly disproportionate. My library will be unbalanced if I don't stock up. Time to enter some contests!
| What Would Shakespeare be Doing if he Were Alive Today?
If Shakespeare were alive today, he'd be helping me pack, if he was any sort of friend at all. Okay, but seriously -- this is a fun question. Would he be churning out blockbuster movies, art-house films, wildly popular television shows, stage plays...? What do you think?
