Friday Roundup
It turns out that Hamlet’s Ophelia just needed a Sassy Gay Friend.
The world’s most beautiful bookstore. Yes, it is.
Grisham is going big into the world of YA with Theodore Boone: Kid Lawyer.
Today’s greatest thing ever: Google Books now has every issue of Spin in their entirety. Holy time machine, Batman! The 80′s issues are blowing my mind.
The Tournament of Books is back. And the first round is over already. How did I forget to mention it here? I’ve been checking it out daily, and you should, too. I’ve only read two of the books in this year’s lineup, but I am going to have to go back and check out many more.
The Guardian catches up with Abdulrahman Zeitoun, the subject of Dave Eggers’s Zeitoun. There are spoilers a’plenty, so you may want to skip it if you haven’t read the book yet, which you really need to do.
Apparently there will be no mention of Patti Smith or her amazing book Just Kids this week. I’ll redouble my efforts next week.

I got goosebumps reading that interview with Zeitoun. I’m spreading the Zeitoun word, everyone should read it.

Hey, you should be one of the judges for that tournament of books!

When they invite me, I’ll gladly join in.

So now that Google Books has a full Spin database, does that mean I can get rid of the boxes of mags in my garage? I was going to bequeath them to my kids

That’s awesome, Dani. I had a blast checking out how many issues I had read cover to cover back in the day.
