Curiosa.

Although I usually browse the web in German, every now and then I come across a good English page, so I thought I could share some links with you of more or less bibliomanic content.

Bibliodyssey, a blog about Book art and Book illustrations;
Bookshelf, yet another blog. One of my favourite bookshelves is The Bookman.
Writer's Rooms and Literary Stamps are two other pages worth visiting.

A new approach to literature - Earth viewed from books - and the occupation with reading: The Kamasutra of Reading.

Did you ever wondered how a Bookworm really looks, or do you need a new Perfume?

Some articles:
Why not the worst?, an essay by Joe Queenan
An excerpt from “The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life” by Steve Leveen
Literature may be Harmful to your Health by Ray Porter
Why are people unlike the books they buy? by Steve Weber

Paperdolls of some literary heroes!

The Sorted Books Project gives you something to do at rainy Sunday afternoons.

Didn't you always feel something was missing?

At the end, two stories by Charles Nodier (original French next to English translation by William Barker): The Bibliomaniac and
The Book Lover.

And this is the first printed story by Gustave Flaubert, Bibliomanie (in French only).

Have fun.
