I'm adding Sam Heldman to my links list. I'm thinking of taking a few off as well. I'm really not intersted in other people's dairies, unless they're well written. It annoys me when people luckier than I am who write for a living, Alterman, for example, think that the web is a place to be lazy or chit chat with fans. I want to learn things when I read -and when I write for that matter- either about a subject or about the act of reading, writing, or thinking. I may pare down my list to those who really interest me in one way or another, and let Max and others like him link to the rest of the planet.
