Hard Core Books
January 11, 2012 – 11:12 am
My new favorite blog is Bookshelf Porn, created by Anthony Dever. It makes me feel better that I had over 40+ boxes of books when I recently moved and makes me think that daydreaming about what my next bookshelves will look like (I haven’t unpacked yet) or hoping someone will buy me a Sapien bookcase [...]
Watch A Book

Here’s something I love that has come out of our weirdo digital age: book trailers. Sort of like mini-movies, these small little snippets are meant to take us inside the action of a book and want to read it, in much the same way a movie trailer does. Some of them are very smart and [...]

Sharon Mesmer and Connie Deanovich are both reading tonight, Wednesday March 16th at the Poetry Project. If you haven’t been to the Poetry Project, it is an awesome cultural institution, staffed entirely by poets, that was founded in the 1960′s. It is a gem hidden on St. Marks Place, which as of recently has swapped [...]
