It is one of those blogs occasionally mentioned in a NYT article, you visit it, browse around and then click the X and it is off your radar. However, there was one and now there are two blogs put out by authors that I have added to the TO READ folder in my overloaded Google Reader.
The first belongs to Neil Gaiman.
His blog has had many changes from feeling like an illustrated novel to becoming a more personable blog, with side features to add to it wealth of information. Mr. Gaiman is one of the contemporary authors who cannot have a book published for very long before it is in my hands and read too quickly.
Now another author whose work finds itself into my hands as quickly is Stephen Fry. His blog leans more to the fun he is having using computers and the Internet, but still, there are links to the fruit is labor handily weaved into the page design.
Though the content of Mr. Fry's blog leans toward the Geek, I have placed it in the TO READ file, instead of the KNOWN GEEKS, where Amber MacArthur, Leo Laporte and the like are linked.
With so much information constantly coming into our lives from so many sources, the need to characterize, compartmentalize and generally cope is becoming more and more a necessity.
As an example, there is one book of Mr. Gaiman's I have yet to read is Revenge: A Novel
I am waiting for the arrival of my gifted Kindle and intend it to be my first online order/download.
Hogmanay !!
