Discovery of the day: Inky Girl. Interesting, informative, readable. And some pretty funny cartoons for those of us who like books a lot (too much?) and have many quirky attitudes about books.

Corduroy Mansions

A serialized online novel is about to begin in the U.K. Telegraph and/or your email box. The link will not be available until Monday, September 21, but here is a description of book one, and here is an interview with Alexander McCall Smith. And you can sign up here to receive each day's chapter in email.

Smith may well be the most prolific writer since pen and paper were invented. His several well-received, popular, clever and nicely written series comprise 20 books thus far, among them:
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency (10 titles at present)
44 Scotland Street (5 titles at present)
Von Igelfield (1 title at present)
Sunday Philosophy Club (5 titles and my favorite)
Corduroy Mansions (the first weekly online series)
La's Orchestra Saves the World (10 printable pages)

Many thanks to Cornflower Books for writing about the new serialization as well as for her January 2009 interview with McCall Smith.
