bookshop, The flip side. Another incredible post.
zahrawithaz, More than 50 books by Queer People of Color (partially vetted for problematic portrayals). Oo, shiny!
China Miéville, 50 FSF works socialists should read. It's an older link, but awesome. Relatedly, the cover for Kraken is up!
Torque Control, Some books I want to read in 2010. (How did I not know there was a new David Mitchell novel coming out!?)
Viafjm, The Apex Book of World SF needs to sell 92 copies by the end of January. It's even in English; no excuses, really. (Plus it includes a story by Aliette de Bodard! Her book isn't coming out Stateside until September. ;_;)

help_haiti ends tomorrow at noon EST. There's a wealth of stuff to be had, and an incalculable monetary need. (Thanks to fish_echo for that last link.)
I caught the end of Working Girl on the tube about an hour ago (Sigourney Weaver's character is right when she calls the story a fairy tale), and I spent the entire credit reel staring at the World Trade Center. We really were stupidly--not innocent, really, just ignorant. And then my TV started talking Holmes09! This is what happens with "premium" channels I suppose.
And now to wash dishes. Oh, Massachusetts.

Date: 2010-01-20 02:20 (UTC)As regards Kraken, for once I like the US cover better than the UK cover (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/0333989503/sr=1-1/qid=1263953718/ref=dp_image_text_0?ie=UTF8&n=266239&s=books&qid=1263953718&sr=1-1). I'd be slightly afraid to read the UK version in public, lest people think I was reading tentacle hentai.
ETA: My copies of Michelle West's Hunter's Oath and Hunter's Death arrived today!
