Citizen Reader

I'm doing that thing again where I take a week off from the Internet, because, well, you sort of have to sometimes, don't you? Just so you can keep your sanity. So have a nice week, everyone. Go outside, have a cup of coffee, touch some leaves or something.

But I do feel I should pass this along: the shortlist for the Man Booker Prize is out. And the longlists for the National Book Award have been announced as well.
