Chekhov's Mistress
Some Like it Hot
Kimbofo stirred the blog pot with her post about bloggers getting free books from publishers. You know that sort of thing is right up my alley, but for now I’m sitting back and watching the conversation (I started my post, wouldn’t you know, and Matt Tiffany wrote his. Many comments both at MetaxuCafe and her site, Reading Matters (the comment count between both sites is 46, not bad for the litblog world). Last I saw it looked like Ed rants (see his post as well as comments) was getting ready to send Bat Segundo over to Reading Matters for a little Luca Brasi treatment.
