Just discovered Salon’s Literary Guide to the World — a travel guide devoted to the literature of a place. Click on Mexico, and you get a list of books ranging from Calvino to Paz.

Judging from the logo on the top left corner, the guide seems to have some tie in with the Travel Channel. I’m a little disappointed LA isn’t on there — yet — but then I suppose I don’t really need a guide for the city I live in. Anyway — An interesting resource by which to build reading lists in preparation for future trips –

On a completely different note: Diagram’s latest issue’s got a sadly funny map: “Mapping Grief: An Active Approach to Grief Resolution.” See what happens when “grief phenomena” are drawn as triangles to represent mountains, then placed in a three-part timeline.
