How I Come To Buy a Book
Was looking for information on Crowd Magazine, a NYC-based literary journal, the other night.
Found the website of Pia Z. Ehrhardt, a New Orleans-based writer who has a story in the most recent issue.
From there, I found the website of Crowd fiction editor Samantha Hunt, and realized that I'd been intruiged by the cover design of her novel The Seas earlier in the evening while shopping for a friend's birthday.
And, from the description of said novel on the site, I think I'm sold. Will probably be picking that up today at Coliseum, along with Kate Atkinson's Case Histories, which comes recommended via Stephen King's Best of 2005 list.

Have I mentioned how much I hate King's EW column? Virulent, vicious hatred. But, if I remember the articles I read earlier correctly, Atkinson's book won some award and was being talked about in the same breath as Ali Smith's The Accidental, which I just finished and really liked. Hrm. I gotta get a library card.
