Drop
:  Let me drop this link on you. Link. Okay, okay.  What is it?  It's my review of Nobel Prize winner Herta Muller's The Passport, an eerie romp through Ceausescu's dictatorship.

Cover:  Design one.  For what?  If you ever had an inkling that you might be good at cover design, now is your time.  The Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Los Angeles has partnered with the website Venus febriculosa for the Tadeusz Borowski Book Cover Design Competition.   The book is This Way to the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen and I am thinking that if that doesn't light your creative fires, I don't know what will.

Booker:  Announced!  The long list for the Man Booker Prize 2010 has been unveiled. I have the Rose Tremain and Emma Donoghue on my to-read shelf.  Can't wait.
