I post bite-sized bits of literature every day on three sites, TwitrLit.com, KidderLit.com, and ScatterLit.com. These can be followed on the blogs themselves or via their associated Twitter accounts:

HERODOTUS MEETS TWITTER
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| Over at thetwitterherodotus.com I'm producing an abbreviated version of Herodotus' History, a "Twitter Herodotus" for the modern age: one 140-character tweet per day, one tweet (I anticipate) per section. You can follow along on the web site, via widget (see the sidebar of thetwitterherodotus.com), or on the associated Twitter account @iHerodotus. | |||||||||||||||||||

OTHER LITERARY SITES
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| readingherodotus.com is the web site for my book, Reading Herodotus: A Guided Tour through the Wild Boars, Dancing Suitors, and Crazy Tyrants of The History. | |||||||||||||||||||
| tryingneaira.com is the web site for my book, Trying Neaira: The True Story of a Courtesan's Scandalous Life in Ancient Greece. | |||||||||||||||||||
| I've been posting book reviews on book-blog.com since 2003. If you reload the page a new random snippet from one of my reviews will load to the left. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Buy a Friend a Book Week is a quarterly holiday I invented in 2005. You celebrate by surprising some unsuspecting slob with the gift of a book during BAFAB Week, which is the first week of every January, April, July, and October. Beats the pants off of the obligations and expectations of Christmas, and you spread the joy of good reading. Good karma, good books. | |||||||||||||||||||
| The Sunday Salon began life as a means of giving myself and a few friends an excuse to read and blog every Sunday. Opened up to the public, it became hugely popular, such that I had to close it down to new members. But there's now an associated Facebook group that anyone can join. | |||||||||||||||||||
 | An old idea but still a good one: Pass the Book suggests that readers pass their books along when they're done with them to form a chain of readers. It should appeal to the six-degrees-of-separation-obsessed. | |||||||||||||||||||

BLOG
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| the-DEBlog.com is my everyday personal blog. | |||||||||||||||||||
|
TELEVISION
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| I had hopes for blogging about all 252 episodes of Bewitched over at Blogging Bewitched. I'm beginning to think that the dream will never be realized, but who knows. Meanwhile, anyone who's at all curious about the first Darrin should read Dick York's amazing memoir, The Seesaw Girl and Me. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Rawhide has the distinction of being the first website I ever created, in late 1996. It's the site I taught myself html on, though it's undergone a couple of moves and several major updates since then. Head 'em up, move 'em out. | |||||||||||||||||||

CLASSICS
| ||||||||||||||||||||
| Blogographos is a public blog to which anyone interested in Greek and Roman antiquity may post. | |||||||||||||||||||
| Summer Courses in the Classics is a continually updated listing of classics courses being offered during the summer. If you have information to provide, there's a handy form on the site (left sidebar) for the purpose. | |||||||||||||||||||
