The Lull Report …

… for March 6, 2014, courtesy of Dave Lull:

 … Worth supporting: About | The Public Domain Review.

… Mobocracy: The vitriol of Twitter: How social media torpedoed Jonathan Ross hosting the Hugos.

… Sic transit: Charles Simic on What’s Left of My Books.

What happens to everything we kept in our heads and hoped others would find amusing after we pass away? No trace of them will be left, unless, of course, we write them down. Even that is not a guarantee. Libraries, both private and public, are full of books no one reads any more. Anyone who frequents town dumps has seen yellowed manuscripts and letters thrown out with the trash—papers that sadly, but unmistakably, not even the family of their author wants.
 … A Lenten journey: Dante’s Purgatorio: The Climb Begins.

… Harvill strong on 2014 Petrona Award shortlist.

… See for yourself: Can you tell the difference between a human writer and a robot?
