I'd be interested to know people's favorite literary websites. Thanks

www.themodernword.com is mine - I'm involved in its associated Yahoo group, which has a couple of terrifically intelligent and interesting people on it. And a couple of fools, but anyone on ILX knows you can't keep them out of any public forum. Modern Word is about Modernist and Postmodernist literature, and very strong on these areas' highlights. Actually, I'm supposed to be writing a section for the Scriptorium on George Herriman, but I don't know whether I'll ever actually do it.

Guide to Philosophy on the Internet

Great SF and F is a fantastic (if quite lengthy) guide to the best of, uh, SF and F.

Emerald City is pretty much the best regular web fanzine around for SF and F. Won a Hugo award this year, and with good reason.

I suppose I should defend the idea of SF and F as "literary", but I don't feel like it.

I was shocked no one had mentioned this yet. www.bookslut.com is by far the best literary site out there.

Fred, that Guide to Philosophy is by a professor at my "alma mater" college!

I loved Dennis Johnson of www.mobylives.com and forlornly await his return. It's been so long, Dennis!

Cool listing of sites in today's "newly revamped" New York Times Book Review. Including a nice write-up about Bookslut.

eight years pass...

kinda chuckled at the first graf of this NYT story on Goodreads and similar sites -- "she lives in a PA town, so it's damn hard to get books."
