Fall is in the air, and so may be a particular book-loving talk show host. Enjoy these links while you play out the clock this Friday afternoon:
- "Jonathan Franzen reads in L.A. and Oprah is in the air" says the title of this blog post by . I wasn't there, but I assume this means she descended from the heavens to anoint the Great American Novelist's forehead with the golden O of her book club's approval.

- Are the slim hopes that your writing will ever be read and appreciated not enough to depress you? Then I have a story about Repetitive Strain Injury for you.

Enjoy your weekend.
