This is where I collect things. Maybe you'd also be interested in reading a few things that I've written, or viewing some of my photos, or even some of my videos. If you're feeling especially voyeuristic, you might even want to look through my links, listening habits, and social connections.
Find more links at the main office.

This is the only official illustration of Holden Caulfield, printed in Collier Magazine in the 1945 Christmas Issue. Apparently JD Salinger had started writing what would end up being The Catcher in the Rye some 10 years before the books official publication.

OK, maybe you knew this already knew this, but somebody is making a movie about Ed Emberly. With this and Where the Wild Things Are, I’m starting to think my childhood is becoming a gold mine for film ideas (note that I didn’t say good film ideas). I guess I’d better hurry up and buy the movie rights for Kid Pix before it’s too late! I already know how it will end.

Paul Sahre’s entry for The Nabokov Collection
Every so often, a dream project lands on your desk. Here’s one: redesign Vladimir Nabokov’s book covers. All twenty-one of them. Let me rephrase. Every so often the most daunting project of your entire life arrives on your desk.
Includes entries from Chip Kidd, Dave Eggers, Marian Bantjes, and several others.

The proud owner of a new single-family residence in Switzerland shows off his shelter. He is standing in front of his Andair-manufactured air filtration system with the escape hatch on the right.
Richard Ross’s Waiting for The End of The World — an visual index of homemade bomb shelters.
“Some of these people thought they were going to be the new inhabitants of the Garden of Eden. I can’t believe that. But when you think back to the illogic of the Bush/Cheney administration, and the world around you is so devolved, the idea of going underground doesn’t seem so crazy.”

Cosmocopia all opened up. I really like this. [via]
I know absolutely nothing about this book, except that it comes with a puzzle. That’s enough for me.](http://30.media.tumblr.com/QtyE6FlyNnzovwstKzSdl0Yjo1_500.jpg)

Infinite Summer →
If you’ve ever wanted to read Infinite Jest but found the 1,000+ page book to be a little daunting, Infinite Summer is a challenge to read the entire thing from June 21st through September 22nd. Full details will be on the site starting June 1st, although this is an event of which it might be best to fully prepare. (via Kottke.org)
Note: I’ve started reading this at a snail’s pace, separately from the other books I lug around in my purse. Believe me, it takes time. I probably won’t write a review of it until fall.
If you haven’t read this novel, this could be just the motivation.
