Monday is in Misery!

Body: Pretty good, but with some random aches and pains.

Book Review: I didn't finish anything worth talking about over the weekend.

Hearing: The Get-It-Done Guy's podcast, and The New York Times Book Review podcast

Etsy Find: A really lovely painting.

Tonight's Project: Grocery shopping, laundry, maybe some knitting or other crafting if I have time.

Randomness: How long do you think it's going to be until the New York Times adds "E-book Bestsellers" lists to the Hardcover and Paperback lists? I'm guessing it will be a few more years.

aggregation of information of sufficient quality to make the 'ebook best sellers' anything more than a bad joke seems a longer way off than that. I could be happily wrong, but there doesn't seem to be a significant impetus for the ebook licensors to report their license sale info.

Further, I think that ebook purchase in the current model is an interim step anyway... DRM encumbered books are a diversion in the wrong direction, and that's the model (one of scarcity of books) that a NYT bestseller list supports.
