Reading

ILLUSTRATION: PHILIPPE PETIT-ROULET

Interesting article in the New Yorker Magazine about literacy, reading, reading habits and etc. The author's (Caleb Crain) blog (Steamboats Are Ruining Everything) also worth a visit or a subscription.

The Future of Reading (A Play in Six Acts)

The Amazon's Kindle device is shaking minds (again) about the future of reading. This is a nice reflection about it taking Kindle as a start.

Thanks, Janneke, you really need to start a weblog!!!

Online Lectures

Eu sou super fã do Alberto Manguel, já li muita coisa que ele escreveu e adoro. Agora também estou escutando-o nessas aulas online. Ele tem uma fala pausada típica de professor e ótima para os não nativos do inlglês (como ele mesmo). Só estou começando (cada aula tem mais de uma hora), mas já recomendo! ;-)

I'm a big fan of Alberto Manguel, I've already read a lot of stuff by him and I love it. No I can listen to him as well in this online lectures. He has a very calm speech as any good professor and it's great for non-native english speakers. I'm just starting, but I can already recommend it! ;-)

Thanks, fade theory.
