Behind the Words at BiblioBuffet
It's a blog. Not just any blog, but one in which you can share some of the goings-on behind each week's issue. We won't tell all but we will share some fun things about the work behind the website.
From the Editor's Desk: Lauren Roberts
The discussion of library book budgets and e-books is lively these days. Lauren wonders why what hasn’t really been discussed, at least in public, is the implications of how the impact of buying e-books over print books will affect libraries’ customers.
COLUMNS
A Reading Life: Nicki Leone
Nicki may work at home but she travels the world in books. When a new book on street food from around the globe came her way she took advantage of her time and her kitchen.
BibliOpinions: Guests
An early baseball hero who became more than he wanted to be is the subject of Mike’s column this week as he interviews a documentary filmmaker and a biographer about their work on this unique sports champion.
Biographology: Carl Rollyson
In his last column, Carl critically reviewed a new biography of Hitler that took an unusual approach. Now he explains why he believes as he does and how the genre of biography is enhanced by that particular author’s approach.
Book Brunch: Lev Raphael
Lev interviews the editor of an astonishing World War II-era German diary that came to light only recently, dispelling forever the myth that average Germans didn’t and couldn’t know about the atrocities their Nazi government was committing.
Bookish Dreaming: Gillian Polack
Gillian had planned to write about her favorite books that are over one hundred years old—until she found she had thrown out, by accident, her notes. But she still found love.
Literary Amusements
Wise, witty, and sardonic quotes about books and reading plus quirky and interesting literary factoids.
On Marking Books: Laine Farley & Lauren Roberts
Growing up in the middle of the twentieth century meant for Lauren a childhood of innocent television shows. One of her fond memories, of a show and a hero, was “brought home” again with a bookmark.
Reading the Truth: Katherine Hauswirth
Life is change, thrilling, startling, frightening, and if we allow it, insightful. Katherine talks about a memoir and a novel that in their own ways “ponder life transformation in response to a specific—and often unexpected—occurrence.”
Strata of Ephemera: Elizabeth Creith
What don’t books and e-readers have in common? Elizabeth crunched a few thoughts about why she continues to prefer the printed book, and in the process created a lot of laughs.
The Athletic Supporter: Pete Croatto
In a brilliant and insightful interview, Pete goes head-to-head with John Schulian a former sports columnist (and, later, television writer) who talks about his experiences on newspapers, with other sports writers, editors, and athletes, the changes in the sports reporting industry, how he broke into television, and more.
