Sarah Vowell, “Shakespeare Wrote for Money: An Introduction” Found via the always awesome tiffehr.

I haven’t bothered trying to figure out the rules for downloads (Percy Jackson & The Olympians [so. fun.]), borrowing (Cormac McCarthy), and purchasing (Joseph Campbell, David Foster Wallace), but I am thoroughly enjoying navigating all avenues.
