  1. What a fine collection of links this time, but I won´t use exclamation marks or smilies.

    I enjoyed several of them, but especially Top Ten List of Unreliable Narrators (I am trying to teach my students that first-person narrators are often unreliable). I have bookmarked the Booktown competition as I am too tired to be creative tonight, and you have probably guessed that I have read ´punctuation´ and am now trying to mend my ways.

  2. Hummm. I use Firefox and have for years. I have never had a hard time commenting on embedded comment boxes. I suspect the problem is with the person's firewall or privacy settings.

    Great list of links -- as always. Off to see your new blogs.

  3. Dorte-- I'm a bit of an unreliable narrator myself when I listed all those statements, stated that only one of them was true when they all were. :)

    Beth-- I think you're right about the embedded comment boxes, but I have had readers tell me they couldn't leave comments when I'd switched to it, so I switched back to the pop-up. No need to antagonize readers! :)

  4. Thanks--this is a particularly good collection of links! Or maybe I'm just in a procrastinating mood about work...

  5. Jeanne-- Six of one, half dozen of another?? ;)
