Review pages
Bloggers rejoice! I've added dedicated pages for every review, so you can point directly to your review, not to the work page generally.
Basically, the link appears wherever you see a review. For example, you'll see it on work pages and on your review page (here's mine). I'm using the "permanent link" icon. I hope it's not confusing.

I'm disappointed, pechmerle, I wrote it just for you.
Be nice; It's in the TOS! ;)
Well, he's my brother, but I actually think it's both funny and true. I remember him telling me the first part at some point in my youth, and ever since I check the philosophy section and--like magic--there it is.
I wonder what other books are so misshelved. I'm guessing the novel "The Last King of Scotland" is another such.
Re: nice. Sorry, pechmerle, I should have added a :).
Hi
Sorry, this comment has nothing to do with reviews, I just have a question/suggestion about the blog widget.
Am I right in thinking that it only pulls the random books once? Wouldn't it be better if it pulled different ones every time you refreshed or loaded the page? Can you do that?
Thanks,
Jim
It pulls different ones every 20 minutes. It could be less, but with so many widgets out there, it needs to use a cache of some sort. At least until we get a dedicated widget server.
One frequently misshelved book: Jonathan Kozol's Death at an Early Age can often be found in with the mysteries instead of sociology or educational philosophy or wherever it really belongs.
I've pulled it from the piles of mysteries at three different used bookstores and at numerous used book sales (including multiple copies during several days of the sorting stage of a book sale run by an organization open only to college-educated women, many of whom were educators.........).
Likewise, Willa Cather's Death Comes for the Archbishop. Always showing up under mysteries. At least it's fiction. :)
Although I always regret the people missing out on it because it's been moved - with no memory of Cather as required reading, even - away from the rest of her work. It's one of her best.
Tim,
Thanks for the reply - that makes a lot of sense.
Thank You, Tim :).
This is the first time I've ever seen a site implement a feature I deliberately asked them for ... it's perfect :).
