Following a little break, I turn this week to books newly read and discussed, wander through some of the most engaging literary writing to appear on the blogosphere, revisit earlier posts worth rediscovering, note a handful of timely observances (including Hispanic Heritage Month and the birthdays of William Golding, Stevie Smith and George R.R. Martin) and draw attention to a scattering of intriguing features from across the Internet.
This week I focus on books read and reviewed, discover some of the best writing about literature on the blogosphere, keep up with a variety of literary anniversaries (including Helen Keller Day and Global Smurf Day), spotlight past posts deserving to be rediscovered and call attention to fascinating features from across the Internet.
