Celestial Homework, and Other News
By

On the Shelf
This is
Allen Ginsberg’s reading list
for his class “Literary History of the Beats.” (Yes, he is on it.)
RIP
children’s author
Bernard Waber
, who brought us
Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile
.
Australia
’
s Qantas Airlines is introducing
a series of novels
,

, designed to last the duration of each flight. (Well, not

“‘Let me use your reading material as an impetus for awkward conversation’ is a time-honored tactic of creepers the world over.”

[Editor’s note: That said, being randomly asked, in a Left Bank branch of Paul bakery, if I was reading “a novel of old Paris” remains one of the highlights of my life.]
