Anyone else annoyed by how all non-fiction books in America have ridiculously long subtitles that have to work in both a “how” and a “why”? This has been going on for a while, but I feel like it’s getting worse or something. They mentioned it on Crooked Timber and it occurred to me that maybe I wasn’t the only one who was annoyed.
In any event, here are sweet, sweet links–nector to be sucked through a thin proboscis and enjoyed:
Art!
Chinese Think Tanks!
Ergodic Literature!
That’s me: Living the Interwebs, So You Don’t Have To.
Not all longly-named nf books have bad results, however. Witness Al Franken in his run for US Senate from Minnesota.
