We haven't had a miscellaneous post for a while, so let's put a few oddments together today:
Books and cakes: The Bridge of San Luis Rey now has its accompanying baked goods - falling apart, like the bridge itself, but very moreish nevertheless.
Books in unsual places: leafing through the catalogue of the mail order company Culture Vulture, I found amid the jewellery, accessories, ornaments and what-have-you, three Bloomsbury Group books including my favourite.
Books and the Booker: judge Tom Sutcliffe talks about reading 140 novels in just a few months for this year's Man Booker Prize.
Books to recommend: Mr. C. has just finished The Hare with Amber Eyes: A Hidden Inheritance
Books and Babel: have you ever wondered about what goes on at the Frankfurt Book Fair? Read what an editor writes (I find the remark about the "clarity of purpose and a vivifying sense that all things are possible" heartening).
