Amy Fusselman, who wrote The Pharmacist’s Mate, has a diary online from a nation-wide book tour she did this summer. These entries are just as wonderful as her book, and each one has a photograph to go with it. One word of advice though: scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and read the entries in the order they were written—it makes more sense that way. Snoop around the McSweeney’s site while you’re at it. They have tons of sample chapters, interviews, etc. from the authors that they publish.

Another must do: watch some clips from Pixar short films. They aren’t complete, but they give you the first minute of so of each one. The full-length version of for the birds is playing in theatres right now before Monsters Inc., which is great.
