Book News, In Brief

Everybody knows that reading is a solitary activity. It's just that Amazon knows how to market this fact better than the rest of us. They've come up with yet another way to keep agoraphobic readers indoors and out of our stores: TiVo and Amazon have partnered to provide consumers with the ability to purchase physical products from Amazon.com on their TVs, using their TiVo remote control.

Care to read a candid comics creating tutorial hosted by the master himself? Alan Moore invited website L'Essaim Victorieux Des Mouches D'eau to his Northampton home for an extensive chat about his writing process.

Lists, via The Guardian UK:
The top 10 psychedelic non-fiction
The top 10 books about wine
Blur's Alex James's top 10 books
Dai Smith's top 10 Welsh alternatives to Dylan Thomas
Julia Golding's top 10 characters from children's historical fiction
Rachel Seiffert's top 10 books about troubled families
Wesley Stace's top 10 ventriloquism books
Sally Beauman's top 10 novels with a powerful sense of place
