- I have a couple of pieces in this week's Green issue of Publishers Weekly.
- Elizabeth Bluemle at ShelfTalker talks to Cataloging Specialist Ruth Polan about various things, including writing those pithy book summaries (specifically of children's books) for the Library of Congress. Fascinating.
- Divergent opinions on the taste of a 200-year-old bottle of champagne recovered from the bottom of the ocean.
- One-way trips to Mars. I have some ideas for people to send first.
- Veronica Roth on writing about the midwest.
- The fabulous Cindy Pon and Shveta Thakrar on writing across cultural lines.
- Tansy on the brilliance of Blackout/All Clear by Connie Willis. Totally agreed. (In fact, if you're going to read only one enormous book this year, I say make it this one/two. You can read The Passage later. It'll keep.)
- In which Karen Healey reveals there's a Leverage RPG.
- V. intrigued by Scorsese's Fran Lebowitz documentary "Public Speaking" for HBO, which the WaPo says is "Less a documentary than an ode…." Hank Stuever makes it sound both fascinating and sadly distant.

I just finished reading Blackout/All Clear which I could read at a sitting because I’ve been in bed with a bad virus for the last several days and wow. It really makes me think of Passage, and how the hospital in that book is another little chaotic system all its own.
