Oh Bookslut!

Bookslut is a well-designed lit blog (unlike this one) and its principal welcomes comments and questions unlike so many, professional or self-absorbed. I browsed her site this afternoon and was stunned that Vollmann has anew book! Why didn't Amazon tell me? Perhaps because it is a science book, one devoted to Copernicus. I must admit that I am interested but with a full plate will likely wait until i can snag a used or remaindered copy.
p.s. the new Beth Orton is good, really good.
