Appendix A: Best-Paid Authors

Some bullet points until my major post for starting 2009 on target:

• The Best Paid Authors between 2007-2008: The Internet isn't everything. These 10 writers made $563 million last year, though one of them made most of it. Guess who.

• Fascinating--but long-winded--conversation of the "Best in Books 2008."

• Oxford's "10 Most Irritating Phrases" starts with, "It's not rocket science" and works down. Personally, I don't see it as all that current, but it still resonates.

• Currently Reading: William Wilberforce by William Hague, a lively bio of the Evangelical who spearheaded the fight to stop the Atlantic slave trade. And persisted over 20 years. Amazingly relevant to the balance between calling, church, and priorities that many of us face today.
