- Sherman Alexie at #BEA09: “I saw a woman in the audience with a Kindle, and I wanted to hit her.” http://rickyopaterny.com/shorturl/sakin #
- Kate Atkinson would rather not publish her work: http://rickyopaterny.com/shorturl/kapub #

- Enjoyed Ben Greenman on social networks http://gen-o.com/shorturl/bg and Samantha Power’s commencement speech: http://gen-o.com/shorturl/spc #
- Turning newspaper dispensers into planter boxes: http://bit.ly/9kLqe #
- Questions from the AP English exam are so funny: http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2009/6/1molyneux.html #
- Too bad it looks like Sky will only be available on Xbox Live in the UK. A US deal for this would be fun: http://bit.ly/Dvvb3 #
- “…if the place has changed unacceptably, then he himself, by his willful absence, is complicit in its decline.” http://bit.ly/Pox0d #
- Seems to be under-acknowledgment of reading as an experience and reading on an e-device as different from paperback, dif. from hardcover #
- Finally looks like the New Yorker digital reader is working. Saved a PDF of this week’s issue (95MB). Which e-reader would handle it well? #
- From which publishers/imprints would you buy books you knew nothing about? Me? @FSG_Books @nyrbclassics Twelve, Open City, @McSweeneysBooks #
- An interview with Andy Spade: http://bit.ly/4U73 #
- Where is the Wafles & Dinges @waffletruck? Went to 46th, went to Bway & Houston, no waffle truck to be found.
