Midweek Pick-Me-Up

JK Evanczuk / Wednesday, September 9, 2009 View Comments

This week: dramatic interpretations of literary hatemail, Twitter film adaptations, fun facts about the reading habits in Guantanamo Bay, and more after the jump.

First Colson Whitehead, now this: Anthony Zuiker, creator of the “CSI” series, is releasing what he has christened a “digi-novel,” which isn’t so much of a novel as it is more some sort of trihybrid spawn of literature, TV, and the Internet.

Someone accidentally painted over Banksy!

Edward Champion performs some dramatic readings of literary hatemail.

Well, we all should have seen this coming: the first Twitter lit film adaptation is in the works.

In recent doomsday news: a Seattle library has closed for a week to save money, some libraries are just ridding themselves of books entirely, publishers are canceling titles to save money, and the publishing industry is bracing itself for a strange new trend: big sales. Wait, what?

Harry Potter is the most popular book in Guantanamo Bay.

Speaking of J.D. California’s Salinger-inspired novel 60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye–apparently it sucks.
