Sometimes, during the peak of summer, I feel as though my attention is wandering. With that in mind, here's a little collection of links and book news that might strike your fancy, all with minimal attention required.
- You knew I was on a Jane Austen kick, but here's a video for anyone reluctant to enjoy 19th century Brit-Lit. Please to enjoy Jane Austen's Fight Club.
- Jezebel's 10 Not-Trashy (But Totally Entertaining) Beach Reads are amazing--I have, in fact, read many of these on a beach chair, including A.S. Byatt's Possession and Nabokov's Lolita. Sadie Stein is kind of my kindred.
- Congrats to Deborah Johnson, author of The Air Between Us, which just won the Mississippi Library Association's Best Novel Prize.
- Found this on Galleycat today: Jeff Buckley meets Romeo and Juliet. If this musical includes Buckley's rendition of "Lilac Wine," I will swoon straightaway.
- Mad Men is back, and my inner Joan Holloway is rejoicing! If your hunger for pop culture criticism hasn't been sated, do yourself a favor and check out Mad Men Unbuttoned and the accompanying piece in The New Yorker.
- I went on a poetry binge the other day and re-read "Courage" by Anne Sexton. If you're having a rough time, or know someone who is, read this and/or forward it along.
- Lastly, ever since seeing him in Henry IV (and in French Kiss), I've nursed a wicked crush on Kevin Kline. (This blog is a safe space, so save your judgments for Twitter). Anyway, this trailer for The Extra Man reminded me he's still got it.
So excited for Mad Men to be back! You know, I heard about Mad Men Unbuttoned and quickly went to AWL to check out what it was all about. About an hour and a half later, I realized I NEEDED the book. It looks brilliant.
Also, Jane Austen's Fight Club is brilliant.
