From our Brooklyn Bookstore Correspondent Emily Gould comes this photo. It was taken in Word, the lovely independent bookstore in Greenpoint. Go on over, and support your local bookstore! Oh and while you're there, please steal this hilarious sign. Emily points out: "It's like if instead of 'FICTION' at Barnes and Noble there was a sign that said 'Twilight and other novels.'"

I guess I am the only one who finds this to be LOL. What an exquisite sadness! There should be a German word. Hey, there hasn't been one of those columns in a while ...
It makes me miss the old days, when Gawker covered topics like literary journals.
Mainly, you did, actually.
Untrue! That was officially Doree's beat.
On your way to Greenpoint, please be sure to also say hello to these bohemian literary types:

I wonder how many are pretending to squat in condos their parents pay for? (Also known as the Harvard Square shuffle)
No, you are not. Poor, poor Granta! They try so hard! (I think...)
If McSweeney's will get them in the door, then that's good. And curious.
McSweeney’s is the Altoids of lliterary journals.
I suppose "Barnes & McSweeney's" can't be far behind.
It's like saying "Lisa Snart and other Flash villains".

Where can I find Traveling Wilburys and other musician groups?
I assume that instead of a poetry section they have "Henry Rollins and other various spoken word writers."
Thomas Kinkade and other artists.
"Big Trouble in Little China and Other Documentaries"
"Kung Fu Fighting and Other Love Songs"
'Rhapsody in Blue' and Other Songs From the Harlem Renaissance.
If they start selling Stock of Bond, we could all by Ploughshares.
PUPPET SHOW
and Granta
Ha! That must have been for Granta's "collective stream of consciousness" issue.
How do I get these "books" onto my kindle?
Buy them, scan them, upload them, and then throw them out.
Okay, that's T[in] H[o/use], but then what's O[....] C[...]? Is there a litwipe called Oceanspray Cranberry now, or did Exquisite Corpse decay into Offensive Corpse, or does it just stand for Other Crap? Second line has to be nearly as long as the first line ...
Open City.
Ah. TYVM.
Ocean City, NJ or Ocean City MD?
I have to submit my poem about horseshoe crabs!
Why are the other literary titles floating in plump, rotated Stars-of-David?
Because they are cosmic and oppressed. Question mark.
Mercer Street Books, 12th Street Books, Revolution Books. All other bookstores are for lab rats and other losers.
