I was hoping for an article about actual weird non-fiction or "creative nonfiction", unfortunately the author focuses on fiction pretending to be nonfiction which at the end of the day, is still fiction. His label of what he calls "weird nonfiction" is seriously misused here.
My favorite translation of the Book of the Dead is Awakening Osiris by Normandi Ellis. Not a literal translation but a reinterpretation of the original text Truly beautiful and full of spirit.
It's possible the film version of The Shining will have better recognition than the name Stephen King, in just a few decades. That's been the fate of a lot of once-ultra-popular early 20th century authors whose works were made into still-well-known films. Might happen to him, too.
Sinclair Lewis has multiple titles listed - best-selling author of the 1920s - later a Nobel Prize winner in literature.
I'm not familiar with a lot of those books, admittedly. But most books in the top 10 for those years are notable enough, that they have their own Wikipedia article. "All Quiet on the Western Front" and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" in particular are highly influential works. They've had movies etc. made and are surely familiar titles to the average American, even if they may not have read them.
I second that. I'm a commercial painter and more then once I've had my sansa mp3 player fall into a paint bucket. Fish it out, clean it up and the damn things just kept on working. Instant brand loyalty after that. Shame they stopped making them.

> These are based on an Actions Semiconductor ATJ2127 chips, with under 100KB of available memory and all audio decoding happening inside dedicated hardware. A rockbox port to these (and other ATJ2127) targets will not happen, as it would require an immence undertaking and due to resource limitations, the end result would lack most of the features that rockbox users have come to expect.
It varies, the one called bookpages.co.uk became amazon.co.uk almost immediately, mobipocket sort of disappeared into Kindle services, bookdepository (a later UK purchase) continues to operate in its own fashion, shipping books for free in padded envelopes one at a time.
I support the idea of vr tech but do I want to be nickel and dimed to death in Zuckerberg's mall-tee-verse. Nope. Not a chance. I hope the venture ruins meta taking fb, and zuck down with it.
