My landlord has some furniture in the vestibule of our building. One piece is filled with books. I'll look at books anywhere. Once in a while I find a beauty:
You can actually see more of Peggy O'More's "Nurse" titles here. Apparently, she was a prolific and top-selling profferer of nurse tales.
Just finished "Sin Dolor" by T.C. Boyle, in the October 15, 2007 issue of The New Yorker. Read it here. Boyle continues to write great stories. Don't miss this one!
There's been a lot of buzz since the beginning of the year about the problem beekeepers are having with a mysterious "colony collapse disorder" that is decimating bee hives in certain segments of the United States. The August 6 issue of The New Yorker has a good article by staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert here.
Also read an interesting fiction piece here by Daniil Kharms, a Russian writer who died during the Siege of Leningrad. It's short and worth a peek.
