Mid-Week Crisis: The Links

After the internet took the day off yesterday, it is back and full of good stuff today:

• Vroman's favorite David Benioff has a new pilot at HBO. It is an adaptation of the George R.R. Martin fantasy series Song of Ice and Fire.

• Vying for the title of hottest book this season, Malcom Gladwell's Outliers gets Boinged.
  

• The non-profit small press Dzanc Books is hosting an online write-a-thon this Saturday to raise funds. Consider supporting your favorite writer.

• A tiny bit of controversy at the National Book Awards: Can Peter Matthiessen win the award for a (3) book(s) he already published (sort of) years ago?
  

Back tomorrow with actual commentary, if I can muster the strength.
