Jack-Kerouac-o-Lantern

Got back last night from the Japan Writers Conference in Morioka, Iwate. Am scrambling to get home and family back in order and to get ready for work--too busy even to use subjects in my sentences!--so will get back to you on that later.

In the meantime, Kelly Jensen at the Book Riot blog has compiled 15 literary-themed jack-o-lanterns. Check them out!

Pop-up Madness

Flavorwire has outdone themselves this time, with a collection of pop-up books for adults (but not that kind of book for adults, don't worry).

My favorites are the alphabet book by Marion Bataille, and CERN's explanation of the Large Hadron Collider, in pop-up book form, though there's something to be said for the Lego pop-up Kinkakuji (Golden Pavilion in Kyoto), and I've got to admire Shawn Sheehy's linoleum block prints in 3D.

And while we're being visual, see what Book Riot deemed the most interesting book covers at the Book Expo America 2012.
