Heartless Thief Steals Books on Bikes Bicycle, and Other News
By
Sadie Stein
August 19, 2013
On the Shelf
Shocking, shocking:
a Seattle thief has stolen the Books on Bikes librarian’s bicycle
. Thankfully, the trailer of books was not attached.
“Sixty percent of the thirty-six books recommended for four-to-eight-year-olds feature animals, or are in other ways concerned with nature. For the nine-to-twelve age group, it’s just over fifty percent.”
Why are children’s books so preoccupied with fauna
?
Casual sex:
a great way to get book recommendations
!
By contrast:
an interview
with the author of the best-selling
The Art of Sleeping Alone: Why One French Woman Gave Up Sex
. (This is, obviously, the English title; French people are presumably less obsessed with French women than are anglophones.)
Behold: the trailer for
C.O.G.
, adapted from David Sedaris’s
Naked
!
