...Back in 2007, Plastic Logic hasn't yet unveiled its portable reader, due on the U.S. market for the 2008 holiday season. But Jones and his demo room give good clues of what it looks like. Flexible enough that you don't need to worry about dropping it, firm enough to hold in one hand and roughly the area of a sheet of paper, the reader could be built to hold, say, a gigabyte of data. That's space enough for 1,000 standard-length books - or the text of the complete Encyclopaedia Britannica three times over, with room...

The T painting teems with 427 items, including Tweedledum and Tweedledee and enough trees to traumatize a topiarist. For the reader who spots the most words, the publishers offer a $15,000 prize...
Among other things, Love Without Hope is about duty of care: society's, for strangers like Mrs. Shoddy who hover beyond town fringes; and the reader's, for a character worthy of compassion and completion. Despite seemingly absurdist and sardonic elements, the novel is simpler and less fanciful than Hall's previous ones. It is set in 1983, when in N.S.W. there did reign a Department of, and Master in, Lunacy. And even today one doesn't have to travel far to find larger-than-life Country Women's Association presidents, murderous property developers or delusional district nurses. These...
