Better Late than Never

It appears that I didn't post a single solitary thing in December of 2011. During that time, Linda sent me several links which I have been delinquent in sharing with you.

First, a link forwarded along (via Lori) in which librarians post their secret Ryan Gosling fantasies with captions, kind of like lolcats but with 99.9% more Ryan Gosling.

Second, an article in the Guardian about World Book Night, in which book lovers select books from a reading list and hand them out to new readers in order to spread the love of reading. The first world book night started in the UK last year and was such a big hit it is going global this year on April 23, 2012. The list of books for the US. is in the Guardian article. You will notice that a few past selections from the Readers Roundtable are on the list. In her email forwarding the links, Linda asked if San Leandro was going to participate in this, and it appears that the answer is: If you want to step up. There is a link in the Guardian article to the US World Book Night site, where you will find out how to be a giver.

Third, a link to YouTube clip that tells the entire history of the English language into less than 12 minutes. Watch and enjoy.
