toastykittenI'm really excited about the release of Mark Twain's autobiography. Apparently the entire thing's never been released before. And here's a link to audio versions of "Chapters from my Autobiography", which are parts that Twain published before his death. Includes mp3 and ogg formats.
Other book-ish news:
There will be a new "Autobiography of Malcolm X", that will include the "lost chapters" that deepen our understanding of Malcolm X. According to the article, they were not originally published because "they showed a broader view of humanity and freedom that was out of sync with the separatist tone of the rest of the work". Via 50books_poc.
storySouth is on online literary magazine dedicated to showing off the best writing from the "new South", especially new writers. They're opened votes to the public for the MillionWriters award for the top 10 stories of 2009, all of which can be read online. Via Alas, a Blog.
I'm loving the T-shirts at Out-of-Print Clothing. They're T-shirts of classic book covers. Though I'm not sure why there are fewer women's shirts. It doesn't seem like it's that hard to make a transfer to a women's shirt, does it? And what? Is no guy going to wear a shirt for I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings? Via Ethical Style. If that's the case, I want more Jane Austen and Jane Eyre shirts.
