@avclub-28b1819668d7c62501acb9852cad10a9:disqus Well, Largehearted Boy looks at books a lot. They do author interviews and have them compile playlists to match their novels and that kind of thing. And that's on top of their daily link dump to other articles of music and books-related interest.

You might want to give Bookslut a try. Unless, of course, you think the novel has ended as an artform for people who are selective about their art.

Bad news, @avclub-525b84f7df0e8063ec6d9a44d409cad7:disqus. Those hidden meanings and byzantine implications aren't flying over your head, they are lodging themselves deep inside your brain. Those seeds will take root, and they will burst. The rocket will rise in your mind, making a mandala of your cerebellum, the…

Oh, if you spot the zeitgeist, take a picture! They're increasingly irrelevant in the modern world. I hear zeitgeists only breed in captivity now. Alarmists have been predicting doomsday.

Do you think you read Borges every year? Or are you merely trapped in an ever-repeating intellectual labyrinth that you perpetuate by virtue of your own existence?
Also, did Achilles ever catch that tortoise?

According to wikipedia, "a shop where books are bought and sold is a bookshop or bookstore."
Who knew?

This is what happens when you take prayer out of public schools.

Thomas Pynchon's V. In a lot of ways the book felt like a warm-up run for Gravity's Rainbow. Not only do the two books share some recurring characters but they have basically the same protagonist, personality-wise (if Gravity's Rainbow can be said to have a protagonist). Which was fine with me, I was happy to get to…

@avclub-5a1c0dcc8243c086c74ee944052f6f0f:disqus Sometimes I feel like Stephen Harper missed his calling. He would have made a fantastic Soviet-style strongman if he'd been born in the Eastern Bloc. Just picture him with an imposing moustache. 
When it comes to the Canadian civil service, whatever Harper can't dismantle…

@avclub-d558185058995263bcbd9fd68a9d732d:disqus Brokaw was referring to the generation that lived through the Great Depression and the Second World War, not the Boomers.

Tom Brokaw did call them "The Greatest Generation." They certainly rose to the challenges of their time.

Whenever I'm at work I disable the flash player before loading this site.

Sometimes when I open my mouth to bitch about 'Murrica I catch myself thinking about the U.S. citizens I actually know, the artists I love from the States, and people on this website too.

I like the Millenials, and for all the criticism they get for being so obssessed with social networking I think their ability to communicate and connect with each other will emerge as a huge strength. What I try to keep in mind though is that every generation tends to grow more stolid and change-averse as it gets…

Personally, the older I get the less patriotic I become. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has spent the last several years working to transform this country into the exact opposite of what I'd like it to be.

I've always wondered if Ronald Reagan ever figured out the lyrics.
