Happy bookish birthdays (May 3) to…
- Niccolò Machiavelli (The Prince) (at AmazonSmile: benefit a non-profit of your choice by shopping*)
- May Sarton (Journal of a Solitude) (at AmazonSmile*)
- Dodie Smith (The Hundred and One Dalmations) (at AmazonSmile*)
- William Inge (Come Back, Little Sheba) (at AmazonSmile*)
- Rick DeMarinis (Scimitar) (at AmazonSmile*) [I’ve been surprised that Scimitar wasn’t more successful and isn’t better known. “You know what freedom is? Freedom is the ability to choose between French toast and flapjacks in the dining car of a train plummeting from a high trestle over a ravine hundreds of feet below. That’s what freedom is. Big fat deal.”–Skylor Blue, Scimitar]

* I am linking to the same thing at the regular Amazon site, and at AmazonSmile. When you shop at AmazonSmile, half a percent of your purchase price on eligible items goes to a non-profit you choose. It will feel just like shopping at Amazon: you’ll be using your same account. The one thing for you that is different is that you pick a non-profit the first time you go (which you can change whenever you want)…and the good feeling you’ll get. Shop ’til you help!
