Today brings you lots of links to help you avoid doing whatever it is you need to do this Friday.
First, The Guardian's Mark Ravenhill answers the question Want to know how to lose me as a friend? and I couldn't agree with him more. Next, David Barnett discusses the future of interactive fiction.
Keeping with The Guardian, I'm loving their Top 10 lists, all of which you can find here. Some of my faves are Alison MacLeod's top 10 short stories, Sebastian Beaumont's top 10 books about psychological journeys, Alex Barclay's top 10 psychological thrillers, and John Higgs' top 10 psychedelic non-fiction, especially because #7 is one of my favorite books. Be warned, though: at about 270 lists, you can easily lose a day surfing through the Top Tens.
Moving on, we have a discussion of five ways reality went sci-fi so far this century. And, keeping with science-fiction, Jacket Copy announced that science fiction and fantasy publisher Tor is launching Tor.com, which is (until this Sunday) offering free books and digital versions of original art. Visit Tor.com to download html, PDF, or mobile versions of 24 titles.
Some dude ponders the odds of writing a NYT bestseller, among other things. (via FARK)
Finally, remember this contest? Well, this one took the prize. Congratulations!
