- Some seriously deranged Amazon customer reviews. (via Doc Searls)
- A year ago “Our Lady of the Underpass” was a Chicago phenomenon. Eric Zorn revisits.
- Chimney sweeps and flower pots are the stuff of poetry for Sam.
- Dale Peck’s recent judgment in the Tournament of Books is scarcely worth mentioning, but I did very much enjoy Kevin Guilfoile’s commentary on the topic as well as his tale about meeting Ken Kesey.
- Kakutani’s reign of terror turns 25.
- The Literary Saloon points us to Jonathan Franzen’s new book. It’s a memoir, and like Ed, I am disappointed by that.
- The Rake chats with Charles D’Ambrosio

You have to wonder why Peck reads at all, given how horrible all fiction is. That guy has to be the most unbearable cocktail party guest in the world.
For depraved Amazon.com reviews, I highly recommend looking up any Family Circus anthology.
