Book Menage Travel Edition: It's a go!
08 March 2010
Okay! The votes are in, and the two books for our next Menage discussion are going to be:
1. Tony Horwitz's Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going where Captain Cook Has Gone Before;
and
2. Bill Bryson's In a Sunburned Country.
Thanks to everyone who voted, and I'll be contacting the winner of the two books (drawn from among the participants of the last Menage) a bit later. Why don't we be optimistic and plan to start the discussion on Monday, April 5? Please do invite your friends or consider posting a link to this page on your blogs--the more the merrier!
In other news this morning I'm very excited to have my article about the Best Business Books of 2009 posted at the Library Journal BookSmack! page. (The print article will appear in the March 15 edition of Library Journal.) We had a little more fun with the list this time around--the titles at the end of the article were particularly fun to write up. Please do check it out; it was a rather lively round of business books this year. Of course, most of them were about the continuing financial crisis, and so were depressing as hell, but they were interesting.
