Today we bring you a Bosworthian homage of video and literary madness. Or if you prefer, the Sally Weigel virtual book tour: Day Four.
Today we are most honored to host Day Four of Sally Weigel's virtual book tour, also known as the Asleep book tour 2010. She is celebrating the release of her terrific novella Too Young to Fall Asleep and we decided that our contribution would be an homage to the equally terrific Mel Bosworth hosted Big Other Reading Series. Please enjoy.

We have new piece. "More Than Anything" is up at the Necessary Fiction and we are most appreciative.
We are quite thrilled and most appreciative to have a new piece up at the Necessary Fiction. It is titled More Than Anything and it is part of a group of quasi-interlocking stories we worked on last summer which also include Goddess at Annalemma, So Different Now at Dogzplot, That's It at CellStories and Never Said at Girls With Insurance. We would add that Spider-Man makes a brief appearance in this piece, well, the idea of Spider-Man anyway, and that for your reading pleasure we have...

The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.
Writer. Thinker. All-around cool dude. Jason R. Riley is all of that and so it should be no surprise that he is a real favorite of ours here at TBWCYL, Inc. It also shouldn't surprise you then that we were very excited to see him launch his new blog The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, with its quite intriguing tag line - A Penny Cyclopædia for the Educated and Inquisitive, Illustrated with Wood-Cuts. That's right, wood cuts. Too cool. Now, do we think you just might want to...

This (e-) Book (and novella) Will Change Your Life - When We Make Our Dinosaur and Inconceivable Wilson by J.A. Tyler.
Work. Travel. Read. And a double-dose of TBWCYL, Inc. favorite and This Zine Will Change Your Life contributor J.A. Tyler. We had somehow decided that we were supposed to read J.A.'s novella Inconceivable Wilson and e-book When We Make Our Dinosaur in tandem, and so we sat on them until work travel beckoned. What we found is that J.A.'s dizzying, full frontal, near stream of consciousness assault on what it means to lose oneself in relationships of all shapes and sizes continues, and while...

Some of the stories from the group already published include Goddess at Annalemma, That's It at CellStories and So Different Now at Dogzplot. We want to thank P.H. Madore and the crew at Girls with Insurance for running with this one and...

This Book Will Change Your Life - Truth or Something Like It by Curtis Smith.
We are travel and we are reading. And what we finished reading today is Truth or Something Like It by Curtis Smith, a swirling mixture of politics, money and religion that is one part thriller and one part page-turner, the latter of which we would note is no easy task. Nice work man.
