Book magazine\’s March-April issue features one of those lists we all love to hate: The 100 Best Characters in Fiction Since 1900. Only the Top 10 are listed on the mag\’s website. Three of the top ten are from Joyce. The Cat in the Hat comes in at number 39. The panelists don\’t appear to read sci-fi much.
Other than that, I\’m liking Book the more I read it, especially the light-n-short, People-esque pieces, like a profile of The Book Thing in Baltimore, a look at architect and designer Michael Graves\’ personal library, and a fluff interview with Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler. There\’s also a longer article (greatly truncated on the Web) about the small-press, underground hit Evasion, which only 2 libraries are listed in WorldCat as holding.
Oh, yeah, you got your reviews, too.
