Yesterday we posted about sharing a page of New York magazine with Woody Harrelson and Marilyn Monroe, and picturing Vonnegut pulled up to the bar with Woody and Marilyn. So what better topic to write about today than the wonderful kinship of beer and books? We'll start with a poem called "Lines on Ale" by the third baseman for the American Canons, Edgar Allan Poe. "Lines on Ale" Fill with mingled cream and amber     I will drain that glass again. Such hilarious visions clamber     Through the chamber of my brain - Quaintest thoughts - queerest fancies     Come to life and...

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...
