An LA Times list complete with cute icons to tell you if a book (for example) has an author as a character, plays with form, or ‘comments on its own bookishness,’ among other delightful postmodern tropes. As for the list itself, Milan Kundera’s The Book of Laughter and Forgetting and Jonathan Lethem’s Motherless Brooklyn would both make for excellent summer reading. (via)
Love the way this is presented.
