Link of the Day: The Perry Bible Fellowship
The Perry Bible Fellowship is yet another comic that I can only really recommend on the basis of its archive. Not because it’s gotten really shoddy, like some strips I’ve mentioned, but because it’s updated sporadically at best these days. Once again, though, there’s some really great stuff in the archives. Do check it out.

The subtle brilliance of the “no brown M&M’s” clause
I’m in the middle of a pretty excellent book at the moment called The Checklist Manifesto, written by a surgeon named Atul Gawande. It’s “a gripping exploration of the nature of complexity on our lives and essential reading for anyone working to get things right.” So yeah, it’s got an endorsement from Malcolm Gladwell on […]

The reason I’m linking to the St. Lawrence Centre is to tell you about Poetic Fashion, which I’ve mentioned in this space before. It’s a great event, and one of just many amazing things happening under the Literature for Life umbrella. I do hope you’ll check it out. Tickets can be purchased in advance through […]
