sunday short stack

It was so nice to weed my bookmarks last Sunday that I'm going to make it a weekly tradition.

• I'm not quite sure how the algorithms are programmed for this literature map (and I'm slightly concerned that Alice Munro is so close on the map to Alice Munroe), but the names do spread out in pretty swirly patterns
• You think you can chart the evolution of dance? Think again...
• Top 10 Genre-Defying Novels
• A blog devoted to the history of the bookplate (via panopticist)
  
• The corpse flower blooms in Brooklyn for the first time since 1939 (via the wit of the staircase)
  
• Barbara Ehrenreich conducts a class analysis of Miami Vice
• My Use of Simile Sucks as Bad as the River Tide
• Naughty America wants to make sure a little action will never be more than a mouse away (nsfw - via LA brain terrain)
• If you prefer your nooky a little less virtual, there's always coded sexual compatability apparel (whose hideous designs cannot be helping anyone score - via lindsayism)
