-- SCWBI conference bloggers discover the inside book jacket of Andromeda Klein.
-- The LA Times's books blog features this interview with an English professor whose course on the rock and roll novel has King Dork on its reading list. I recently got an email from a disgruntled reader who said she was being forced to read King Dork and found many of the sentences unreleaseable and the whole thing not as relabel as other books she had been forced to read. Maybe she was in that class?
