Book beer pairings sees authors suggesting brews that are best enjoyed with their work. What brews go with your favourite books - a very important question for the ages.
In semi-related news, the next "Books to Beers and Stacks to Snacks" social gathering will happen following the final day of the SLA conference, Saturday May 3 at 5pm at the Cathedral Village Free House in Regina. Endnote speaker, Jessamyn West, is planning to attend so why not drop by if you're already taking in the conference and/or a MetaFilter member?

Friday Fun Link - Ten Whatchamacallits and Their Real Names (April 18, 2008)

How many of the following do you know?
Aglet. Bollard. Dingbat. Ferrule. Keeper. Kerf. Punt (or kick). Philtrum. Phosphenes. Tragus. I knew exactly one and somewhat unsurprisingly, it was "dingbat".  (As an aside, there is a book called "The Joy of Lex" that was one of my absolute favourites as a kid. If you're a fan of words and language and linguistics, I highly recommend it and it's sequel, "More Joy of Lex")Ten Whatchamacallits And Their Real Names - The List Universe [Edit: I can't believe I used the wrong "its" in that last line, especially in a post about language! I know the rules for (most of) the typical grammar mistakes - honest - but frequently find that my brain and hands don't always keep up to each other when typing.] Friday, April 11
