Like Literary Hub, this site curates articles on books and the literary and publishing world from all over the internet. Unlike The Chronicle, all content is available without subscribing, although there is a link in several places to “Support Arts & Letters Daily” That should tip you off that you will find a high standard of writing in the articles aggregated on this website. That’s a long introduction to a site I discovered recently, Arts & Letters Daily, published by the folks who put out The Chronicle of Higher Education, which is the Wall Street Journal of the academic world. And I think you will admit that I read and review a few books (over 100 so far this year). Sometimes they pique my interest in something I want to read and review. Sometimes, they inform me about books I decide I don’t need to read. But I think most of us have figured out how to skim them to discover what catches our attention. I really could spend all my time reading what is on these sites rather than reading books. One of my readers recently commented with regard to a post about one such site, “One more alternative to actually reading books?” His question raises a fair point. At the same time, I realize that this blog can’t be a “one stop shop,” and so I also like to pass along the resources I’ve found useful in discovering news about books and all things literary. One of the ways I do that is through various newsletters and websites that alert me to new books as well as information about the literary world, authors, book selling, and all things related to books. One of the things I love doing is helping connect people with books that will inform, entertain, and perhaps transform them.
