RadioLab

I know a lot of your are RadioLab fans. Here's an interesting interview with Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich about the show. I've been trying all morning to listen.

Poetry it is!

Well, I never thought I'd see the day! But, it looks like we're reading poetry. Go get your copy of Golden Gate and get busy!

We liked it.

Well, at least we all found at least something to like in The Borrower. Perhaps it was all those wacky Russians! And those kooky actors! Perhaps it was the unusual plot. I think most were frustrated at the total lack of self motivation in the central character but that may have been the point.

Hey Carlos, want to write a nice review and post it here?

Yelping with Cormac

Although I swore I wouldn't read it, I just finished The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It gave me nightmares. But, I think I'll read a sequel or maybe even two.

Would I read a sequel to The Road? It still makes my flesh crawl. But I did get a kick out of reading the blog Yelping with Cormac, restaurant reviews written in the style of Cormac McCarthy.

For your listening pleasure

All of you Wait, Wait and Neil Gaiman fans might want to check out "Wait Wait ... Don't Tell Me!: A Royal Pain in the News".

It's on BBC America tonight.
