Some Links, and a Correction

• Since we’re all about accuracy here at the Vroman’s Blog, I must point out that the list of books quoted in a post about Sarah Palin’s book banning desires was fictional. No specific books were mentioned in her discussion with the Wasilla librarian, although such a discussion definitely took place: “But on Monday, Oct. 28, Emmons said Palin asked her outright if she could live with censorship of library books. This was during a weak when Palin was requesting resignations from all the city’s department heads as a way of expressing loyalty.”

• Robert Giroux, the “G” in FSG, has passed away at the age of 94. When I first started paying attention to who published what sort of books (probably about eight years ago), it became immediately apparent that FSG published the kind I liked.

• Some big political titles hit the shelves this week. In fact, I think I’m going to make a hot key for that phrase, since I imagine I’ll be using it a lot in the coming months.

• To fans of the New England Patriots, don’t despair — rent the first season of “Friday Night Lights.” (The Times Quad Blog is having an ongoing discussion of the Buzz Bissinger book the movie and series is based on.)

More substantive posts are coming later this week, promise.
