Still More Link Laziness
Posted by Ed
Today I'm feeling lazy, so I'll just provide more links instead of real content:
- What made the Ealing comedies (like the original Ladykillers and The Lavender Hill Mob) so good?
- Meet "the third Inkling": Charles Williams. (The Times Literary Supplement discusses the best-known colleague of Tolkien and Lewis.)
- Is it good to be bored? (via ArtsJournal)
- Peter Ackroyd reviews the history of antiquarianism in eighteenth-century Britain.
- A.N. Wilson discusses Lawrence James's discussion of T.E. Lawrence, as well as the continuing relevance of Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom.
- How did former Senator Max Cleland get to be the Democratic party's "mascot"? Does Cleland deserve his reputation as a martyr? The New Republic's Michael Crowley asks these questions in Slate.
- Was Lolita plagiarized? (I doubt it...)
- Karen Armstrong (the author of several books on religious history) has written a memoir.
- Niall Ferguson asks how the growth of Muslim immigrant communities, the aging of the native-born population, and the decline of Christian faith will reshape European culture.
- The New York Times discusses a series of recreational math gatherings inspired by Martin Gardner.
- Michael Dirda reviews a book on Lewis Carroll's impact on pop culture.
Updated: I've added links from weekend papers.

Being bored is probably the most unhealthy phenomenon known to man. There is too much to do in this world and too little time to live.
