Inkwell Irregulars, Assemble!

Here's an easy post: A list of links to bookish blog posts made by our Inkwell Irregulars. Not only does it save me the time of sorting through an unwieldy assembly of AP articles featuring the words 'book,' 'publisher,' and 'bookstore,' it links you (our beloved blog reader) to them (our other beloved blog readers). Incestuous? Sort of. But this is a cult -- that sort of thing is par for the course.

This is one of those pitch-perfect posts that's just one well-connected Tweet away from becoming an internet sensation: Estoreal's Without Boulders -- Woody Allen's long-lost Flintstones script.


Daij is a poet whose blog, Soultight, either inspired the poem posted here, or visa-versa. Whichever, I know I'm going to be reciting this vitriolic verse like a mantra throughout Thanksgiving dinner.


Frank Black from The Friday Night Boys put up a nice birthday tribute to Spider-Man co-creator and Ayn Rand devotee, Steve Ditko. The bio is brief, the pictures are perfect, and now I feel like a class-A heel for having missed the maestro's birthday myself.


For those of you struggling with a NaNoWriMo novel, Rachel Stark's What Can a Job Interview Teach You About Writing? will no doubt prove useful. Hell, even if you're not writing a book and are just suffering through an extended spell of unemployment, the tips might still be worth checking out.


I'm currently making my way through all 196 issues of Chris Claremont's original run on The Uncanny X-men, but that's nothing compared to the time-consuming task that Robert has set out for himself over at The Matt Murdock Chronicles: He's reading and reviewing the entire Daredevil comic book series.


Elizabeth Avedon's photography and book design both possess the same bold and iconic visual appeal. To think that one person can achieve such similarly spectacular effects with two wholly different mediums is hella cool...and slightly nauseating. Join me in my jealousy. Click here to check out a small sampling of her work.

Well, that's it for today. If'n you'd like to join our slowly expanding band of backwoods, book-loving belligerents, click here. All we ask is your life-long devotion, adoration, and a firstborn or two.
