Anonymous Patron writes “The New York Times Reports During the last year many Web logs, or blogs, have focused on the war in Iraq and the presidential campaign, and as these blogs gained a wider audience some publishers started paying attention to them. Sometimes publishers are interested in publishing elements of the blogs in book form; mostly they simply enjoy the blogger’s writing and want to publish a novel or nonfiction book by the blogger, usually on a topic unrelated to the blog.”

    Mil Millington’s Things my girlfriend and I have argued about. A very amusing website which bears very little resemblance to the very amusing book.
