Of Interest (Literary I): 03.31.2010

+ Embroidery and literature, two arts not normally combined, meet in these embroidered samplers of Kurt Vonnegut's illustrations, including yes, the "sphincter" from Breakfast of Champions.

+ Somewhat related: there's an entire blog dedicated to literary-themed tattoos, called Contrariwise. Here's the Kurt Vonnegut category, including, yes, some sphincters. Pictured here is a Fight Club inspired tattoo.

+ Awesome short science fiction story: Tipping Point by Todd Stein, on the pulpy, quick-read site Popcorn Fiction.

+ Not like I need to have a special date dedicated to the activity (I wish I could free up more to do so), Do Nothing But Read Day(s) 2010 are designated for June 20 and December 19. I already have everything I need on the preparation list (sleepy cats!).

+ I'll fully admit to craning my neck on the train as I walk up the aisle to see what people are reading, even sneaking peeks at Kindles. CoverSpy collects what New Yorkers are reading in public (transit, parks, bars, etc.).
