Question of the Week - Question of the Week #2: The Great American novel?
I just stumbled upon this MeFi thread that also asks the same question on the Great American Novel: http://ask.metafilter.com/125356/Great-American-Novels Many voted for A Confederacy of Dunces.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #29: Literary Dads
Atticus Finch (and, well, Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch!)
Etc. - 50 Word Challenge
(not a 50-word challenger submission) I love these! I'd love them even more if I can read them as daily installments! ;-)
Etc. - Question of the Week #12: Unfinished Books
Mine would have to be Huckleberry Finn. I just kept skimming through pages in High School and never really got the hang of it. The vernacular, phonetic dialog was hard for me to follow.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #11: Your Questions
Oh, and I already have an answer to starshy926's question :) (Good question BTW)
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #11: Your Questions
Alone the lines of art imitating life, what book(s) seem to resemble your life?
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #10: Dinner with Dickens?
Truman Capote. Every account I've read or seen of him seems to have characterized him as a captivating dinner guest.
Ideas - An rss feed for newly added books?
There is one: feed://feeds.dailylit.com/feeds/rss/tags/all
Found it at the bottom of the main body of this page under the Forum Topics section: http://www.dailylit.com/tags/all/date/1
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #8: Which books make good movies?
To Kill a Mockingbird, Lolita, Tess are a few good adaptations. The character portrayals on the film versions were even richer than I imagined from the book. I think the movie version of The Outsiders sort of missed the mark for me.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes - Disappointed in the World's Greatest Detective
Weren't cocaine and opium legal at that time? It certainly wasn't considered as repugnant as it is today.
Question of the Week - Question of the Week #2: The Great American novel?
I thought of Great Gatsby too but I think, for me, it's Catcher in the Rye since I identify with it more.
Book Requests - Kevin Kelly's Out of Control?
He recently released an updated, illustrated version of Out of Control http://www.kk.org/2008/08/out-of-control-the-illustrated.php. The original version has been available online since 1995. Would love to see this in email installments.
100 Ways to Succeed/Make Money - 100 ways? I'm not even sticking around for #3...
@daschmaltz it reads like a blog compendium because it *is* a compendium of blog posts! In fact, if you check out his blog, http://www.tompeters.com/ you'll see additional "100 Ways to Succeed" posts.

I agree with you (I happen to love him!). He's incredibly energetic and motivating in person. Hard to believe that he's in his 60s and can run circles around me who's half his age :)
