  • The LA Times Book Awards are announced. Congratulations to Paula Giddings and all the other winners.
  • A Kansas school is named after Walt Whitman. Ridiculous protests ensue.
  • Dana Stevens is my favorite movie critic. This is her summary of "The Soloist": friendship with an unstable and occasionally violent crazy person who thinks you're god is a rocky road to travel.. The last line made me spit out my coffee.
  • Proyecto Latina is a great resource for learning more about Latina Literature.
  • Jim Powell hasn't published a book of poetry in 20 years, until now.
  • I probably won't read Christopher Buckley's memoir, but this article about it was dishy and delicious.
  • I don't know what to make of this review of Tyson.
  • And this is crazy trifling. I read on Bernice McFadden's facebook status update that folks are sending around an email with the entire text of Steve Harvey's book as a .pdf attachment! I don't know what's worse, violating the man's copyright, or exposing more women to that retro message!
