1. End of the Year Procrastination: Link Love

As another year comes to a close I realize I have nothing overly profound to leave you with. I wish you luck in embracing your New Year’s resolutions. I hope your year is filled with good books, lots of laughter and a visit or two to the OUPblog (sorry I couldn’t help myself.) More importantly I’d like to leave you with my sincere wish that you and your loved ones have a happy and healthy 2008. Below is what I have been up to during this slow work week.

Sooo cute! Type in commands you would say to a dog and leave “kiss” for last! [via The Shifted Librarian]

2. Favorites: Part TwoRandall Klein

To celebrate the holidays we asked some of our favorite people in publishing what their favorite book was. Let us know in the comments what your favorite book is and be sure to check back throughout the week for more “favorites”.

I found my favorite book early. My sister forced me to read The Phantom Tollbooth, by Norton Juster, when I was six and I have read it once every other year or so since. As I get older, the book ages with me, revealing new ideas on what it means to be clever, to be a hero, to have an adventure. Milo’s journey to bring peace to the warring kingdoms of Dictionopolis and Digitopolis are woven brilliantly into a tale about making the most of one’s time. Juster’s wordplay shines, and there is no foe more fierce than the Terrible Trivium, no friend more loyal than Tock the Watchdog. It’s my favorite book because I cannot pick my favorite part.

3. Favorites: Part OneAndrew Goldberg

Last year to celebrate the holidays we asked our co-workers what their favorite books were. This year we asked some of our favorite people from all around publishing. They were kind enough to take a few minutes in this busy holiday season to share with us. To thank them I am going to make it my goal to read all of their suggestions by next year. Throughout the week we will be sharing favorite books from our favorite people so be sure to check back for updates and let us know what your favorite books are in the comments!

While this has not been a banner year for me when it comes to the quantity of books I have made it through–I have read a few that are entertaining, funny, informative, and moving. (more…)
