First up, some personal library goodness, via Paranormal-Steampunk author, Gail Carriger (who may be coming to our part of the world this year, I believe) and the site Apartment Therapy:
“Curl Up in One of These Cozy Libraries”
Wouldn’t you love a library like these? I know I would!

In quite a change of pace, I found this article by Garett Reppenhagen on Salon extremely thought provoking:

(Btw, we share a friend-in-common: the Paul mentioned in the article.)
