Book accessories, for the fashionable reader

Now, I'm not saying that you need accessories to read, but, as a good American, I believe that consumerism cure what ails you. Powell's book blog put together a list of cute handmade book things, including tiny deer bookmarks! Kate Ward at EW has found some equally cute bookmarks. Hurray useless adorable crap that I won't use but do want.

Happy Friday, spend your paychecks!

The e-book test drive

For the e-book fearers out there, the LA Times did a video test drive of a number of e-readers (not the Nook, unfortunately, although I've seen one and it looks awesome). Check it out, and see which one you'll be purchasing in January.

I drooled so much at this tablet reader I shorted out my keyboard

Fact: I could not give two craps about sports journalism (not even a single crap, actually). Fact: I watched over three minutes of video about sports journalism because of the tablet being shilled:


Ok, another fact: as Gawker points out, this is all theoretical and doesn't actually exist yet (and it probably won't be as cool when/if it's for real). Whatever, guys. This tablet is my own personal Twilight. I will obsess about its awesomeness in my imagination until I am incapable of telling fact from fiction and live my life according to the one true way. My Life is Tablet.

Handwritten Bible worth more than my life

The handwritten Bible I mentioned last week was auctioned off on Ebay and closed with a bid of $15,407.53, making it about $15,406 out of my price range.

So, instead, I'm investing in a Wii and the new video game Mass We Pray (which, since it's on a Wii, I think should be Mass Wii Pray, but, you know, whatever):



If this isn't real I think my heart will drop out of my body in sadness.
