- Favorite blogger Karen announced the May book for the Cornflower Book Group - My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier. A personal favorite of mine. Had such fun reading Rebecca with Sandy and others last year. Will definitely be at Cornflower Books on May 22 for the conversation. And for those of you participating in the Daphne Du Maurier challenge, this is a bonus conversation along the way for you.
- Another group read to consider in May is Bad Blood by Lorna Sage. Reading along with the Slaves of Golconda. Weigh in on May 31.
- Enjoyed this video - "How the Modernists Changed Neuroscience."
- Love Alain de Botton's tweets. Like this one. "The most time-consuming arguments are always those sparked by the impatient retort that life is too short to discuss this sort of thing."
- Curious as to what will happen at the Paris Review with new leader at the helm, gobbled down this article at Intelligent Life.
- Librarian listservs have been enlivened by an announcement by the Library of Congress that they plan to house the entire Twitter archive. It takes a lot to get librarians this excited so I am curious as to how you bookish types have reacted to the plan.
