This week on the bookish internet

  • So it turns out there’s a centuries’ long history of hating poetry. (The Baffler)
  • The LitHub staff list the fictional houses they would like to live in/visit. I disagree with most of it. I read some of House of Leaves and I don’t even like being in the same room as a copy of the book; there’s no way in hell I would want to stay in that house.
  • Give Mary Wollstonecraft a statue! (The Guardian)
  • Christine Prevas tells a delightful story about how Shakespeare didn’t work at first in wooing her crush, but it did the second time. (Electric Lit)
  • I find this story about conservatives bewailing the fact that students sympathize with Frankenstein’s monster hilarious. (Gizmodo)
  • Should authors rate their own books? Nope! (Book Riot)
