Blogs and Books

Over the past few weeks and days I have been exploring other blogs about books. Aside from my original inspiration, bookslut.com (which is not a blog), I have also discovered the People Reading blog, a fabulous exploration about what the people of the San Francisco Bay Area read in public places, and the 100 Books project that just concluded. All those bookish geeks out there seem to have a blog dedicated to the things they read, and now, I can include myself in the growing number of litbloggers. I can't promise that mine is more innovative, and in fact, it is probably more traditional. But I'll see what sorts of ideas I come across in my blog-reading. Maybe I'll just hit upon a presentation that seems a bit new, and a bit more interesting.

Last Year's Books

I have been writing about books on my blog Tightrope, which mainly details my adventures in San Francisco's literary underground. But I have determined that it is time for a blog dedicated solely to books, specifically the books I read.

As a sort of retrospective, this is the list of links to the posts on Tightrope dedicated to books:

  • There's Chocolate Cake on my Motorcycle Boots
  • Solitude and Great Books
  • New Seasons in New Places
  • It is ok to be independent
  • Self Help Sells
  • The Death and Resurrection Show
  • Summer reading on dreams, trees, and Scotland
  • Enchanting Fiction
  • Presidential Doodles
  • Apathy
  • Litquake Strikes
  • Writers With (or without) Drinks
  • Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name
  • Worldchanging is So San Francisco
