> It’s a simple app which “slices” an article, pasted text or text file into pages and display them, one paragraph per page. It’s designed to make reading long form articles easier for those of us who don’t do as well with reading long pages.

*** Revising Your Writing Again? Blame The Modernists ***
<http://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2013/06/29/revising-your-writing-again-blame-modernists/WhoH6Ih2kat2RE9DZV3DjP/story.html>
Craig Fehrman, The Boston Globe


> It’s easy to assume that history’s greatest authors have been history’s greatest revisers. But that wasn’t always how it worked. Until about a century ago, according to various biographers and critics, literature proceeded through handwritten manuscripts that underwent mostly small-scale revisions.




*** A Family Blinded By Bling And Fancy Designer Names ***
<http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/01/books/kevin-kwans-crazy-rich-asians-depicts-a-cult-of-opulence.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&_r=0>
Janet Maslin, New York Times


> “Crazy Rich Asians” offers refreshing nouveau voyeurism to readers who long ago burned out on American and English aspirational fantasies. Mr. Kwan either knows, or does a good job of pretending to know, how the very rich of Singapore, Hong Kong and Shanghai show off their lucre. Since he is not spoilsport enough to bring moralizing into such a story, readers never need worry how the king of Thailand gave two live human beings, trained as lady’s maids, to the richest old Singaporean granny in the book.




*** Actors Today Don’t Just Read For The Part. Reading <i>Is</i> The Part. ***

Leslie Kaufman, New York Times


> Gabra Zackman is a new kind of acting star: she is heard, but unheard-of.

> Ms. Zackman had classical training through the Shakespeare Theater of Washington, has worked in regional theaters for the last two decades and has had a sprinkling of appearances on television shows like “Law and Order.” Those performances, however, have brought neither fame nor fortune.

> Instead, like a growing number of actors, she has found steady employment as a reader in the booming world of audiobooks.
