  1. While you're relaxing at the beach or your rustic upstate cabin this weekend, we're working on the #Kino remix project. bit.ly/JgX7zh
  2. Personally, I think short stories and essay are the perfect beach reading: read 20 pages, nap, wake up, take a dip in the water, repeat.
  3. "Short fiction is not only arguably a superior form, but it’s short." bit.ly/KoNzpa #storymonth12
  4. It's back! This week's Hell! Yeah Worthy takes on kittens, cartoons, Gatsby, and (of course) writing. bit.ly/K4KrjU
  5. Thankfully, indie booksellers got your back with 15 suggested summer reads: n.pr/Ky8ffp via @nprbooks
  6. Memorial Day is the official kick-off to the summer, and that means it's time to get your summer reading in order.
  7. @leblackwood Ha! I like that!
  8. @JoePonepinto Not too shabby. Economic jokes are hard.
  9. Just in time for #storymonth12, The New Yorker serializes a Jennifer Egan short story on Twitter at 8pm EST tonight. nyr.kr/KSs1Qm
  10. (Can someone PLEASE make a Greece austerity crisis joke out of that last tweet?)
  11. THE PARTY IS OVER!!! bit.ly/JRkhD5 #kino
  12. @BrianCentrone We are waiting to exhale!
  13. Another book to film adaptation I appreciate: The Road by Cormac McCarthy bit.ly/Jq6S3B
  14. @rrquinta Thanks, I did see the new version, now I have a reason to go back and watch the original!
  15. RT @rrquinta "I'd suggest Solaris (1972) - not the new, Clooney version, which is terrible - imdb.com/title/tt006929… - book by Stanislaw Lem"
  16. There are lists of best/worst book to film adaptations all over the web. Time to make one of our own.
  17. .@bookbent suggests Interview with a Vampire bit.ly/KX2xkY by Anne Rice.
  18. bit.ly/Lu08k6 RT@renananon "Clockwork Orange for sure. Droogs were the first hipsters, right?
  19. Here's one of my favorites, The Princess Bride by William Goldman, even though they leave out the Zoo of Death. bit.ly/JLWcwO
  20. This asks whether film adaptation should veer from the books they are based on. avc.lu/MKf3ZC What makes your favorite great?
