Yep, your friendly lazy book blogger is back at the controls to share some other people’s posts with you... sure, after a busy week of work, I could sit down to write out an in-depth review of a good book, or possibly some well thought out commentary on a recent book news tidbit, but instead I think I will just let the unlazy shine. So here is some good reading I think you should check out...
First and foremost, I hope everyone got to read last weekend’s wonderful New York Times’ article on Jack Vance - great stuff.
It started a little while ago, but has everyone been keeping up with Cory Doctorow’s Makers? Me? I’m waiting for the book.
Here’s a good article on upcoming books.
Want to watch a book blogger pull an author out of hiding? Check out Library Dad’s S.M. Stirling post (makes sure to read the comments).
A non-book blogger chimes in on the Kindle/1984 controversy... the funny thing is that I agree with just about everything thing this natural health dude has got to say (and I am NOT a natural health kind of guy).
I highly recommend you read this fabulous Author Profile of Tad Williams - damn, I have to hand it to Adam of The Wertzone... he writes some in-depth posts that are always enlightening.
I am still continuously amused by bad book covers, thank you Judge a Book by its Cover! Yeah, I know the link is over there on my blogroll (which desperately needs to be updated and expanded), but maybe you missed it.
And lastly, in honor of San Diego Comic Con - I just saw a new way to read comic books on the iPhone thanks to Comixology... although I am actually a fan of the ComicZeal app by Bitolithic, I think this new app with its in app purchase ability is a nice step forward for digital comics (yep, I am a contradiction waiting to happen - I believe ebooks should be ignored, yet I do support digital comics - the difference between the two being... well, that’s more writing than I can handle right now).
OK, that’ll be it for now; this lazy book blogger is off to spend some quality time on the couch with a book...

Thanks for the linkage. I should have posted it sooner, but I had to think about the potential consequences of him not wanting to talk or worse. After a few weeks I finally braved the waters. And I'm glad I did!
