One great benefit of having a week off from creating kits is having a little time to explore other lit blogs! Sometime soon I will write a post on what I’ve found and what I think my readers might enjoy, but here is one neat little thing I stumbled across — a weekly meme called “Booking Through Thursday.”

Each Thursday, a conversation-starter is thrown out into the blogosphere and fellow lit-bloggers respond. Here is this week’s topic:
How about a chance to play editor-in-chief? Fill in the blanks:
__________ would have been a much better book if ______________________.
My first thought was Eggers’ A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius. I would have cut a bunch of his ramblings on starting up his ‘zine Might. His little brother Topher was much more interesting.
One more contribution — I have to veer from literature for a moment and include American Gangster, too — edit, edit, edit!! Great acting, compelling story, but it dragged on and on…
Any other titles — lit. or otherwise?
