CAAF: Morning coffee

• At Library Thing, a wiki-type group is cataloging the libraries of the great departed, including those of Samuel Johnson (Terry, I’m looking at you), Sylvia Plath, and Walker Percy. (Via The Mumpsimus, who hopes they get to Borges soon.)
• Asheville alert: Junot Díaz reads at Warren Wilson College this Friday, April 11. It’ll be his first appearance since winning the Pulitzer for The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. I expect it’ll be a MADHOUSE, enough so that it’s been a real war of conscience for me whether to even spread the word (and thus possibly lose a chance at a seat). What you’re seeing here is the triumph of moral fiber.
Also worth a look, this charming interview with Díaz from Newsweek.
