When it Snows, Read

Unless you are a skier or healthy enough to engage in a snowball fight with the kids next door, you're pretty much consigned to staying indoors in Portland this weekend.  The whole town has shut down.

The rich are stuck in the hills, snowed in.  The poor are struggling to get here and there on a bus system that seems to have collapsed.

The trains are daunted.

There is but one thing to do, and that is catch up on your reading.

Marxism is given the hot and cold treatment here.

Clive James on Robert Frost here.

E.B. White escaped New York and settled in Maine. Why?

Why are poets such thieves?  Ruth Graham takes a crack at it here.

A positive review of Barry Miles' new bio of William S. Burroughs.

Okay, I'm already tired of doing your work for you.  Simply go here and read every word.
