While finding the Lit Forums is akin to finding the intellectual equivalent of the city of Cibola, where else do you spend your time on the internet? What sites do you read to learn more about your esoteric and varied interests? What sites do you look at for a laugh?
To get the ball rolling I'll post a few links.
1) http://cabinet-of-wonders.blogspot.com/
The cabinet of wonders. Written by an aspiring author (I think). Topics range from defense from the Evil Eye, to the history of the cod-piece. Check it out.
2) http://fascinatinghistory.blogspot.com/
Facinating History. Unfortunately the writer of this blog has stopped updating, but the archives provide some interesting reading. Dante and Beatrice, the life of Cassanova, dying poor in victorian London, and the thoughts and meditations of Marcus Aurelius - strange pockets of history I hadn't previously explored.
3) http://www.whatisstephenharperreading.ca/
You may have heard of this one. Yann Martel (authour of The Life of Pi) has committed himself to sending the Prime Minister of Canada a book every 2 weeks. He posts which books he sends and then also posts the letter sent with it. Read the letter that was sent with a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, if you like it, you'll probably like the rest.
4) http://www.timemachinego.com/linkmachinego/
That's right! A link to another website which has nothing but more links! Super. Can be hit and miss, but when it's good, it's great.
5) http://www.neilgaiman.com/journal/
The hugey popular blog of a hugely popular author.
Well, I hope that may have whetted your appetites. Now your turn.
Bonne Chance!
