What Happened to the Bookstandard?
With so many great blogs on the iternet, it's really a matter of time to get to them all. Sometimes I feel that there aren't enough hours in the day to get my fill of blog reading (I admit, I'm oldfashioned and would rather curl up with a book). But I do enjoy getting my literary news on the internet. I just found out that a site I visited often to get caught up on author, publishing, and literary news (www.bookstandard.com) has been added to Kirkus review. No longer can I read this news for free! Kirkus review requires a membership fee to view any of their news items or book reviews. Anyone know of a good site to get a daily report about goingson in the literary world? While I support literary endeavours, $37.50 a month for web access is too rich for my blood. Does anyone know what happend to the bookstandard?
I did, however, come across a blog by the editors of the New York Times Review of Books, called papercuts. It's witty and fun to read. You should check it out.
