Marc Carson, killed last night as he and a friend walked on 6th Avenue & 8th Street, shot in the face for refusing to hide that he was gay. I know that block as well as I know any place in the world, have known it since I was 17, I can’t believe, i can’t believe this is still happening, I’m heartsick.

Erase all of Amanda Palmer’s songs from itunes.

Pay no attention to self-serving, self-obsessed ‘artists’ who write dreadful poetry to a terrorist - as long as they look like a cute indie college boy; then tell offended readers to “read it again.” Nix, Amanda, back to your scientology class, skip off, won’t you.

book fair aftermath … this is what happened when at the end we were told, “just take whatever you want for free”. 20 BOXES OF BOOKS CAME HOME WITH ME. this is after i purchased a full 1st edition 6 volume set of virginia woolf’s letters for 10.00; gone with the wind special edition in a slipcase; first paperback of salinger’s 9 stories, james purdy, t.s. eliot, iris murdoch, a full box of others all for a few dollars more. which is perfect because i’m meant to be packing up to move and “paring down”. um.

French cultural minister Aurélie Filippetti says the government is creating a fund to help struggling independent bookstores to ensure that France “never suffers the same fate as the United States.” Fair enough, France.
