  Niklas' blog — Authority: 118
  Well, I’m a sucker for Morrissey as you might know, and as such I know that he yesterday visited Kirsty Young at the jolly BBC’s “Desert Island Discs” to play outtakes from what eight discs he would bring to a desert island. No real surprises there, but a mix of varied tracks with a strong foot in the 1970s, ...

• Tite Street then and now

  
  { feuilleton } — Authority: 472
  This LIFE magazine photo of Oscar Wilde’s home at 34 Tite Street, Chelsea, is fascinating for Wilde aficionados in being a far more detailed view of the “House Beautiful” exterior than one ever finds in books about the writer. No information as to when it was taken but from the look of the print it was ...

• Quotations: Ouch! Words that hurt!

  
  dailyQi — Authority: 139
  Humour or hurtful? We have heard many a time that the pen is mightier than the sword. These quotes illustrate that words can be more hurtful than any weapon.

  Jenny's Books — Authority: 505
  I know this is the second time I’ve mentioned Aaron Sorkin in the past few days, but that’s only because I’m rewarding myself for applying to grad school by letting myself watch episodes of Sports Night and The West Wing .  Anyway, I’m watching Sports Night and this is the dialogue that just went by: ...

• Some Notable Twitterers (Tweeters?)

  
  College English — Authority: 423
  I’m sure everyone knows that Neil Gaiman and Stephen Fry tweet. Neil Gaiman’s blog is more interesting, but I enjoy Stephen Fry a lot. And Mrs Stephen Fry possibly even more! But there are other fun and interesting literary tweets that you can find and follow. One of my favourites is @proustr , which posts ...

• Paris Breaks in the 20th Arrondissement

  
  Paris Breaks — Authority: 100
  Paris Breaks to the 20th Arrondissement Ok, the idea of going on Paris breaks in order to hang out entirely in the 20th is only semi-serious, it would be a bit like visiting London in order to spend all your time in Leytonstone or Newham, but that’s not quite as mad as it sounds. You’d be surprised at the number ...

  Okay well it isn’t very poetic but your correspondent here has been very busy the past few days and will continue be so for the next few. Today I begin my new job, a new period of employment, muffled under the protection of an immense bureaucratic machine; the helicopter arrives in an hour. (Editing in: now half an ...

  The Ballad of Reading Gaol (1907). I finished reading Neil McKenna’s excellent biography recently, The Secret Life of Oscar Wilde , a book which makes an ideal companion to Richard Ellmann’s 1987 life of Wilde. Whilst reading about the two trials I remembered that among five pages of digitised Wilde volumes ...
