Wow, some actual literary links today. A-here, here, goes:

Great interview with author and punk icon Judy Nylon. She even talks about inspiring Brian Eno to "create" ambient music .

Some pictures of cathedral ceilings. I remember visiting the York Minster Cathedral in York. My tour guide told me the ceiling was created using the ribs some boats from Napoleon's navy. I've never checked the veracity of these claims, nor do I want to.

A great quote from Nietzsche on the Bibliokept blog.

Mediabistro collects literary boards on Pinterest. I've just joined. I say the jury is out on this one.

Some thoughts on the comma by Ben Yagoda on the N.Y. Times Opinionator blog.
