Media News Item of the Day (#2)

From the Village Voice

"A Brooklyn Librarian Will Now Make You a Personalized Reading List, and You Don't Even Have to Put on Pants"


Hey, you know who else has done that? Me!

Back in August 2011, I devoted a week of posts to recommendation lists for specific people.

  • Read a brief explanation here.
  • Personal Wreck List #1: For the Friend Who Needs an Update on a Rec. List That's Now Several Years Old
  • Personal Wreck List #2: For the Newlywed Friend Who Needs Something to Take the Post-Wedding Edge Off
  • Personal Wreck List #3: For the Friend Who Feels Like a Fake Lit Major, and Who Is Also Nostalgic for Her Time in England
  • Personal Wreck List #4: For the Friend Who Really Needed This List Earlier in the Summer, Because She Had Actual Vacation Time
  • Personal Wreck List #5: For the Friend Who Finishes Everything, No Matter What
  • Plus, List #8: Smart, Non-Blockbuster Crowd Pleasers: The Base for Almost Any Personalized Recommendation List I Make


Hmm, maybe it's time to do this again . . .
