My coworker and buddy Dustin has a hilarious post on our new McNally Robinson blog,
The Common Reader, about an activity he seems to have invented (or at least named):
the Booknap. Check it out for a full explanation of the technicalities of the form, along with illuminating pictures of Dustin in various booknappish poses, and getting his eye poked by William Vollmann. I feel Dustin would hate the word whimsical to describe anything he's written, but it's given me that sort of delight on a random Tuesday afternoon.
