Electronic Bookshelf

Perusing the internet, I ran across Deena Larson's "Virtual Bookshelf," which lists several e-lit pieces according to the time they take to read. Lo and behold, the new media piece that I published with Caren Beilin is on the bookshelf.
Very cool find.
Also a very nice intro to some electronic literature that doesn't (necessarily) take a lifetime to read.

Typopoetry

My friend and comrade, Guido Alvarez, has just self-published his first book, Breakthrough_typopoetry.
You should all go check it out.
Then you can go to Lulu.com to buy it here.
Guido describes this project:
Breakthrough is my first experimental book of "typoetry": A hybrid product of typography, photography, and poetry. The ultimate goal of this product is to finance the completion of my Ph.D. studies in Media, Arts and Text at VCU and to start a career in media production using self-publishing technology to achieve it.

It is certainly not your average beach read, though I suppose you could call it a bathroom book.
