It’ll be quiet around here for the next few days.
Why not brush up on those old literary bar jokes, wander around Dickens’ London, try your hand at converting Shakespeare’s sonnets into haiku, and visit Rake’s Progress and Rockslinga?
(Thanks to the proprietress of Volumes — who says, upon learning that Anne Rice’s forthcoming book is narrated by Jesus Christ, “I wonder if Jesus lets people edit him?” — for the haiku link.)
