Weekend Edition: 12-29
Posted By Tim On December 29, 2012 @ 11:17 am In Miscellany/Linkage | Comments Disabled
I figure I can’t let the year close without at least one more Weekend Edition. One minor problem is that my delay in making the decision means a couple items I would normally include slipped off the radar (my news reader, actually).
Interesting Reading in the Interweb Tubes
- Why must the nation grieve with God? [1] (“We are told the Lord works in mysterious ways but, for many people, to suggest there might be an intelligent deity who could rationally act in such a fashion and that that deity is worth praying to and thanking for “calling them home” seems beyond the pale.”) (via [2])
Least Surprising Headline of the Year
Bookish Linkage
- The 2013 Tournament of Books doesn’t begin until March but the finalists [4] have been announced. I’ve actually read one-third of those in the finals and all three of the books that will be in the per-tournament playoff.
- The Guardian looks at [5] one of my Desert Island Books: Arthur Koestler’s Darkness at Noon [6].
Nonbookish Linkage
- The top 10 Longreads [7] of 2012
- The 100 best lists [8] of all time (via [9])
- Maybe I need to put up Christmas lights [10] next year.
When things go well for days on end, it is an hilarious accident.
