Literary March Madness

Literary March Madness at Malaprop's Bookstore, Asheville, NC

I know nothing of sports. But I do know books. Which makes me very qualified to participate in my local bookstore’s Literary March Madness...thing.

Should you pick ‘em according to literary quality? Should you pick the book you think will sell the most? Or should you just guess?

What if you haven’t read all the books on the sheet; how will you pick then? I dunno. It’s just fun. In this round, it’s a no-brainer. Conroy’s over-the-top Southern melodrama beats Larsson’s over-the-top Swedish melodrama.

Funny Man, Funny Book

Santa in Space by Jack Silbert (published by Golden Books)

Pal o’ mine Jack Silbert celebrates his birthday today. He is perhaps best known for lots of hilarious posts on the Internet, but I like to bring his book, Santa in Space, to the attention of all who want to know the truth behind our beloved mythical fat man. At $3.29, it’s a steal. And hey, Christmas is only about 270 days away...

Fleeting Fibonacci!

Spring has sprung here at Casa Fibonooch. Greeting me this weekend from the cherry tree in the front yard were these fragile, beautiful 5-petal flowers. They'll last a week at most, then disappear until next spring.

Oh, fleeting spring! Oh, evanescent Fibonacci!
