Just when you think that the mash-ups have reached their logical limits, someone moves the line:
The Wall Street Journal is launching a weekend book section. Interesting.
The Guardian writes about social commentary showing up in haiku form on Atlanta streets. I’ve spotted this one and this one. This one is pretty great:
Wired has an excerpt of the new William Gibson novel Zero History.
Read an excerpt of Joseph Skibell’s A Curable Romantic. The book cover has a blurb from Dara Horn and Skibell is a professor at Emory. How can we pass this one up?
Who buys books? Interesting report on market research including this: “Thirty two percent of the books purchased in 2009 were from households earning less than $32,000 annually. A fifth of those sales were for children’s books.”
Fake Mahmoud Ahmadinejad weighs in on the Koran burning kerfuffle on Twitter. Oh, snap!

I really enjoyed the haiku story. Maybe I can get students to write haikus and post them around campus.
