::literary exchange::

an idea occurs to me, especially with the recent mention on lauren's blog of a lack of things to read (ie. books), to propose a book exchange between friends (or more, if others reading this blog are interested). media mail is a pretty reasonable way to send books, and it would be a nice way to expand our horizons to mail each other stuff we've read. maybe mention a few of your favorite books in the comments box and i will try to organize something. you may also email me at muse at furiousmuse dot com. suggestions on this are welcome.

another thing, and i've been meaning to harass lauren about it: we should start a literary 'zine! even if it only starts out in blog form. that would be a ton of fun, and encourage us all to write something and contribute. again, please let me know if you're interested, either in the comments box or via email. if you happen to be reading this on livejournal (where the 'muse runs in syndication) then please visit the actual site to log your thoughts.
