Five Hundred Blogs
Just thought I'd say thanks to everyone who played along with the five non-library blogs meme. Or, perhaps I should curse you for giving me so many interesting ideas for new reading material! In any case, grab some of your own reading ideas by searching the fiveblogs tag or checking out some of the links from the original post, if you haven't been back to visit.

Blogversity - An Attempt at a Meme
The discussion on well-known library bloggers made me wonder -- what do people read outside the library field? I never get to play the meme game with anyone, so thought I'd attempt to start my own...
Here are five random picks out of the non-library blogs I follow:
The Lipstick Chronicles - (mild nsfw warning) is pretty much just for fun. Written by four authors who "write books that combine elements of chick lit, mystery and romance," it gets into the writing process, kids, sex, family, books, and whatever else have you.
Barbara's Blog: Barbara Ehrenreich Comments on Working in America - If you've found her books interesting, you'll probably also find her blog interesting, although it's only updated sporadically.
Bitch Ph.D. - Academia, parenting, and feminism, what's not to like?
Boing Boing - I admit that I wait for Boing Boing to approach a couple hundred new posts, then do a massive skim. But the mix of fun, weird, and thought-provoking pointers make it worth dropping by.
Inkygirl: Daily Diversions for Writers - Thoughts on the publishing process, mixed with cartoons.
So what do you read that's absolutely not library-related? If you're a library blogger reading this, consider yourself tagged, and tag your own post fiveblogs.
