A bit of this and that gathered from around the net, hope you enjoy. In the coming weeks, if you find something interesting you think everyone should read, drop me a line via the contact form and let me know, or just post it below. Let’s get started:
1) Broken Kingdom: New Yorker article on the 50th anniversary of Norton Juster’s The Phantom tollbooth.
2) Best of Books: Adam Doppelt has put together an interesting new genre book site. Definitely worth a look.
3) Amazon Launches 47North: A new SF/Fantasy imprint from Amazon.
4) Encyclopedia of Science Fiction Beta Launched: Another site to get lost in… forever.
5) Three Years of Mars Rover in 3 Minutes: Not Fantasy or SF, but so cool it ought to be.
We’re updating our theme, so things may be a little messy or slow until we’re finished. Thank you for being patient with us!
Amazon’s 47North looks cool, especially that book called The Monogoliad. I might have to get that one. :)
I loved Phantom Tollbooth as a child, and still re-read it occasionally. Thanks for the link.
Wow, that’s weird. Norton Juster describes having synesthesia, and his two examples are things that show up in the writing of John Crowley. They mention Nabokov. I wonder how many awesome writers have that unusual sensory condition?
The best of books site is awesome – thanks. :)
