A book day, every day, including Forgetting English

There is a woman who set out to read (and review) a book a day for a year.

Not Moby-Dick, mind you. Books of a certain length.

And she did it.

A book a day for a year.

But she kept going. She’s still reading!

And, as luck would have it, she just read our own Midge Raymond’s book. And she gave it a nice review.

Short story collections are a great fit for someone who has to read a book a day. I’m lucky to get through a chapter a week.

PS: Now she has a book coming out!

Eagle over Seattle

Offtopic, I know, but I have to share. This is a photo of an eagle I snapped yesterday. Normally, I’m a second too late for these types of pics. Such a beautiful bird.

And there is a globe in the background — from the Seattle PI building — so I could argue that this post is sorta related to globalization.

PS: I’ve posted a few more pics here.

We interrupt this blog to congratulate Midge Raymond

Midge, as many of your know, not only runs Byte Level, she writes.

Short stories mostly. Lots of short stories. And short stories aren’t exactly where the fast bucks are being made these days.

So it’s nice to see her getting recognized for her work.

She is a 2009 Artist Trust Fellowship recipient!

I know I’m slightly biased, but it’s much deserved.
