KateKintail's Book Journal

In an effort to post things here other than book reviews... here's a video Dan, AWP Publications Assistant, just sent me. I have so much love for it. He recommends watching in full-screen mode. I agree. It makes me want to visit Type bookstore (or any bookstore, for that matter) immediately. Luckily, I just made myself soup for lunch here at work, or I'd be on the road right now ;-)

My poster from Idiots' BookStore arrived today! I can't wait to put it up in my office at work.

It's really adorable and after lusting after it for a long time, I'm glad I finally broke down and bought it. No book-lover's wall could be complete without it.

Description from website:
Dispose of your unwieldy Norton! For only $15, the entire history of literature is here encapsulated on a 2’ x 3’ poster. From God to Hemingway to Kafka to Danielle Steel, the 50 greatest names in the history of literature are here depicted, described (Charles Dickens “accidentally sang a Christmas carol to Philip Roth,” for example), and inevitably related to Francis (and his good pal Kevin) Bacon by no more than six degrees.
