Interesting Reading in the Interweb Tubes
- How Crazy Is Too Crazy to Be Executed? [1] (“You might wonder what Andre was thinking when he removed the children’s hearts and placed them in his pockets to take home”)
Bookish Linkage
- Ten things that happen to your mind [2] when you read (via [3])
- What is a book snob [4]?
- Perhaps not surprisingly, a Laura Ingalls Wilder book was South Dakota’s representative in Amazon’s 50 Great American Love Stories [5]
- To save itself, B&N should “get halfway out of the book business” and “abandon its legacy identity [6]“
- Top 10 vicious literary hatchet jobs [7]
Nonbookish Linkage
- Social media for existentialists [8]
- An argument that Blue [9] is the greatest relationship record ever [10]
- Saving the sounds of America [11]
- Science says: Democrats’ brains use the region associated with social and self-awareness [12] and Republicans’ brains use the one
involved with the fight-or flight response - Balancing the electoral college vote would move Sioux Falls from a state “that isn’t half as bad as people make it sound [13]” to the State of Nodaway [14]
- Five of the craziest Valentine’s Day arrests [15]
It’s not always easy to distinguish between existentialism and a bad mood.
