- The Sacred Rock of Tor "For years, Tor had one computer: an IBM PC AT with an amber monitor. Towards the end of its life, in the late 1980s, it could only be rebooted by smartly hitting its CPU on the side with a particular rock."
- The return of radical bookshops | Books | guardian.co.uk In which several of booktwo's favourite places are mentioned (albeit with less optimism than the the headline suggests).
- Speaking to the Past: A Penguin 75th Anniversary Project by Douglas Coupland Faking Penguin covers with DC. Slightly nice.
- Interview with neuroscientist Merlin Donald on digital books | TeleRead "Electronic reading is too linear for my taste, and leaves no room for my favourite strategy – speed-reading an interesting book backwards, to track its argument; or to feel out the author’s real intentions, sometimes in random order, to sample the flavour of the thoughts therein; or leafing through a manuscript in selected chunks that are determined intuitively, often in an unpredictable order, triggered by specific contents or ideas."
