Wild boars, coming to a bookstore near you!

I'm happy to report that the Johns Hopkins University Press will be publishing my book Reading Herodotus: A Guided Tour through the Wild Boars, Dancing Suitors, and Crazy Tyrants of The History. It should be out in the fall of 2012. Stay tuned.

Authors & publishers:
I've decided to stop accepting review copies. The downside of getting buried in free books is that reading increasingly becomes an obligatory act. After some seven years of blogging books, it's time for me to return to the simple pleasure of reading only the books I want to read, when I want to read them. The blog, however, will continue, and if you've got a good first line to share for TwitterLit please do so here.

It's coming again:

Printer-friendly page! Use print preview to see how this page will appear.

I spent the better part of last night and this morning making printer-friendly pages for the book-blog. I'd wanted to do it for a long time, because the reviews are long enough that I can imagine people wanting to print them out to read. But I didn't know how to do it before. There isn't a printer-friendly page that one can open in a browser window and print. Rather, when you print a review from its permalinked page, it will automatically be formatted properly for print. You can do a print preview to see how the page will appear when it's printed. (This is all accomplished using a second stylesheet, print.css.) I hope you enjoy the new feature!
