<\/span>Because heaven knows the world needs more book blogs, the\u00a0New Yorker<\/em>\u00a0now has a blog called\u00a0The Book Bench<\/a>, named after their office’s discarded-book pile (pictured). And\u00a0Harpers<\/em>\u00a0now has\u00a0Sentences<\/a>. The latter, so far, is pretty super\u2014entirely the work of contributing editor Wyatt Mason, it features long, discursive entries about recent reading and original reporting about\u00a0Jonathan Franzen<\/a><\/strong>‘s recent public chat with\u00a0James Wood<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0at Harvard. The Book Bench, so far, has long linkdumps and posts about recent lit news with punny headlines like “A Pose for Emily [Dickinson]” and “Pain in the Library.” There’s also an odd, snobby post entitled “Bookspotting<\/a>” that makes fun of an overheard conversation between an “Edie Falco look-alike” and a friend in a fancy Tribeca restaurant, about how reading books on tape are easier than reading “all that text.”<\/span><\/p>\n
