Interesting Reading in the Interweb Tubes
- Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills Are Killing Us [1] (“When we debate health care policy, we seem to jump right to the issue of who should pay the bills, blowing past what should be the first question: Why exactly are the bills so high?”) [Long but worth the time]
Bookish Linkage
- The effects (and some causes) of illiteracy [2]
- If best-selling albums [3] had been books instead (via [4])
- Stop apologizing [5] for what you like to read
- The unread and the unreadable [6]
- Proof that reading saves lives [7]
- The 2012 Read Russia! anthology [8] is now available for download
- Don’t worry too much about the shortlist for this year’s oddest book title [9] when you can look at the 10 oddest book titles ever [10]
- Ten essential feminist books [11] everyone should read (and my youngest daughter may be appalled that I haven’t read any of them)
- I also haven’t read any of the 10 sexiest books [12] of all time
- I have read four of the five best rock-and-roll book [13]s, though
- SF/F books every socialist [14] should read
Nonbookish Linkage
- I’m guessing this hotel’s two star rating is going to drop [15]
- Yes, America, some foreign countries do make more than one great film [16] a year
- Will you be as surprised at who the world’s largest tire manufacturer [17] is?
- An absolutely wonderful [18] USHL ad. At least I know I’m doing my part locally (via [19])
The right to health is a fundamental part of our human rights and of our understanding of a life in dignity.
