For this installment we take a slightly different view of the phrase “blog of the week.” I think it’s safe to say that the book blog that saw the biggest bump in notoriety this week was Booksaga. What was it that brought sudden exposure to a fledgling, mild-mannered blog about “adventures in the book trade”? Well, sex and scandal, of course. Perry Falwell is a bookseller in Georgia who makes a sort of half-hearted attempt to keep his details private: He buys up books to sell online and some of his sources might frown on that. (Or, conversely, want to get in on the action.) He recently bought a cache of books from a widow, more as a kindness to her than anything else, only to find later that the husband had converted many of them to book boxes, in which he had stored pornographic Polaroids. Falwell blogged about it (complete with a photo of the find), uber-blogger Jason Kottke linked to it (as did countless others, including a link in our forum) and Falwell found himself with an instant audience of gawkers. Those who lingered long enough to peruse the rest of the blog will have found (not quite two dozen) faintly-genteel posts about life combing thrift stores and library sales, which could be either charming or deathly dull, but Falwell takes a bemused and writerly approach, and his sense of humor can be seen instantly in his categories list. It may well prove worth sticking around for.
