The Cozy Blogosphere - Jennifer Howard

The Cozy Blogosphere

Jennifer Howard has a wonderful November 16, 2003, posting at the Washington Post Book World entitled It's a Little Too Cozy in the Blogosphere.

The tenor of the article is that the blogosphere is getting to be "too established" for its own good, contrary to the very precepts by which it was founded. Nevertheless, Howard has a vigorous commentrary on some excellent blogs, particularly in the literary arena.

Her literary selections are
Bookslut
Maud Newton motto: "Occasional literary links, amusements,
politics, and rants"
Old Hag Motto: "MENACING MAINSTREAM MEDIA"
MoorishGirl
and
The Minor Fall, The Major Lift motto: "DON'T LET THE SUNSHINE FOOL YOU"

There are also references to the following literary-related blogs:

Cup of Chicha
About Last Night at ArtsJournal.com from Terry Teachout writing about the arts in New York
Choire Sicha
Identity Theory motto: ("a literary website, sort of")

We by no means endorse all of these blogs, but they are all good and it just depends on what you, the reader, want to read.
