Odds ‘n ends over the week about books and reading that caught my eye. You’ve probably seen some/most/all of them, but just in case:
- How Amazon and Goodreads are changing literary criticism — Headline says it all. Interesting read.
- How a Book Becomes the Book of the Summer — Lev Grossman — whose upcoming book should be, but honestly won’t be, a contender for Book of the Summer — talks about the phenomenon
- Brash Books co-founders channel self-publishing success to publish other authors — Lee Goldberg and Joel Goldman talk about their imprint, Brash Books
- Zak Penn to Rewrite Script for Ready Player One Film Adaptation — If someone has to rewrite Cline, am glad it’s someone like Penn
- The Convoluted Calculus of Rating Books — I think rating books is a littler simpler than this Book Riot piece suggests, but, this is entertaining enough.
- This was another of those weeks with only one release that caught my eye:
- The Silkworm by Robert Galbraith (wink, wink) — Galbraith and Cormoran Strike are back for another go ’round. I wasn’t blown away by Galbraith’s debut, but I really enjoyed it. Expect the same here.
(not sure where I found this — obviously something about goodreads — if you know, let me know so I can attribute it properly)
