Thursday’s Flurry of Words

My first favorite song was “Carnival of Sorts” from R.E.M’s Chronic Town EP. Undoubtedly, I liked it because of the line, “Boxcars are pulling out of town,” as I was knee deep in my love-of-trains phase. My iPod flipped to this song today in my constant shuffling for something new to listen to. In the search for a fresh book, My Lie has piqued my interest. There is also an “autobiography” of/by Mark Twain hitting the shelves. Nick Antosca gives us an essay on reading Lolita when he was 12. On the business side of things, what is the effect of corporate donations in our academic libraries? As the transition continues, here’s a look at the evolution of e-book development and commerce. I’m sure you all can understand the need for editing, but the process has hit the courts in Singapore. Time to pull on out of town.
