The Friday File, 10/29/2010
Happy Halloween! Before you head out to stock up on toilet paper, Ivory soap, and shaving cream for decorating your neighborhood, relax this afternoon with a few good reads:
The Seminary Co-op Bookstore on the University of Chicago campus is having a midlife crisis. It turns 50 next year and will be moving, presumably to a swinger's condo building with a pool and shuffleboard court.
So you want to get a PhD in the humanities?
TQO contributor Antonya Nelson writes about buying half of an abandoned mining town in Colorado.
Dave Eggers can draw too. Of course he can.
"Could care less" vs "Couldn't care less." Discuss.
Teaching writers to accept uncertainty.
An unpublished short story supposedly by David Foster Wallace surfaces on Tumblr, right next to all the Lady Gaga Halloween costume photos and Arcade Fire concert videos.
And since I brought it up, if you're going to TP a house, you might as well do it right.
Have a good weekend.
