This irresistibly-named blog features a brilliant mix of two of my can’t-live-without necessities: literature and music. And then it asks authors to do what I’ve been doing in our heads forever – putting playlists to their latest books.
Remember last week I featured Ayelet Waldman’s “Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities, and Occasional Moments of Grace?” Well, here Ayelet provides a 20-song companion piece to the book, featuring titles like “Housework” by the B52s and “Mother-in-Law” by Ernie K-Doe.
You can find great suggestions for new additions to both your Kindle and your iPod on this site. I spent way longer than I should have reading playlists for books like “A Reliable Wife” and “Delicate Edible Birds,” then listening to songs and going back to specific passages.
Go hang out with this largehearted boy.
