New York magazine has generously (and not unwisely) pointed to Novel-T in this week's Approval Matrix, calling Novel-T's a "great gift for geeks." There's the Kurt Vonnegut #5 jersey, just chilling–where else?–between Woody Harrelson and Marilyn Monroe. It's pretty much the bar scene of our dreams.  And who knows, maybe Kurt and Marilyn are having a drink and a smoke right now in that great dive bar in the sky.

Novel-T is in Miami, Florida for the weekend for the Miami Book Fair, one of our favorite events of the year.  For a couple kids from New York, it's hard to beat the chance to shoot down to the sunny climes of South Florida to talk books for a few days. It's also a good chance for us to talk about one of the newest additions to the Novel-T league, Zora Neale Hurston. Hurston was a great student of the culture and history of Florida, both of which she brought to bear in her most widely-read novel, Their Eyes Were Watching...

But there are many who prefer a simpler a name: "book t-shirts"--or even the super-succinct "book shirts." The appellation "book t-shirts" has its merits. It's simple in just the way that the best writing is: straightforward and succinct. There's no haughtiness there.   But some of our shirts are not "about books" so much as they're about authors.  Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn each appear in two books each.

 Great news! Novel-T's Poe Raven t-shirts are back in stock.   Here's a classic clip of The Raven on The Simpsons to celebrate.   The Raven Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door- Only this, and nothing more." Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its...
