Yahoo has a search blog. Sadly, it seem to only be a bit of corporate cheerleading.

The Museum of Hoaxes now has an RSS feed for their forum, in addition to the one for the main site.

I’ve been meaning to mention for a while that Media Nugget is back. Always a great place to go for quick recommendations and reviews. The August 16th entry made me go out and buy You Are Here, a book about imaginary maps edited by Katharine Harmon.

I’ve enjoyed the reactions to Charles Simic’s extremely short-sighted essay on the South: Clay, Maud, Gwenda, Jeff. I was going to jump in and write something about it, but I realize that these people have made the point better than I could, and they all have far better Southern credentials than this New York- and Florida-raised boy who feels perfectly at home in Atlanta.

Great post on gamebooks at Criminal English. Yeah, I used to be into those things, too.

Via Bookslut, Kurt Vonnegut’s “I Love You, Madame Librarian.” (”Our president is a Christian? So was Adolf Hitler.”)
