The Weekly Wrap: May 16-23, 2008

Every week, a few blog posts get me thinking and asking questions.  I'm grateful for the prodding.  Here's this week's selection:

Thanks to Chekov's Mistress for pointing me to Sentences, which got me thinking about reading fiction critically once again.

Thanks to Classical Bookworm for raising the question:  should the OED be printed in the era of the electronic record?  My personal vote is yes; I have the condensed OED, and there is nothing quite like browsing through a page of arcane words to whittle away a few minutes on a dull Sunday afternoon.
