Very Recently, there has been a great deal of litigation by the
American FTC against bloggers and website promoters
for not revealing advertising revenue, or existing
relationships with advertising networks.

What are your personal ideas concerning how this could impact
the blogging world?

I remember it as a devastating portrait of life in Afghanistan under the Taliban. I believe this is the book with the public stoning?

Comment on Unaccustomed Earth by Jhumpa Lahiri by Maggi Brown

When I read the first story in this book I was totally hooked. Unfortunately I didn’t realize it was a story and was bereft at not being able to find out what happened next. I usually completely avoid short stories for this reason. But the writing in this book is so incisive and the author’s analysis of human relationships so insightful that I continued reading, and I’m glad I did. What a wonderful writer Jhumpa Lahiri is. Loved The Namesake as well.

Comment on Nonfiction: Haruki Murakami’s What I Talk About When I Talk About Running, 2008 by Maggi Brown

Clearly a disciplined guy. I found that to be remarkable, the book not so much. Lots and lots of self-analysis regarding his running. He lost me at the extreme marathoning… The careful way he looks at things seems to be part of what makes his fiction writing so interesting, however.
