Good Reading Magazine.
Everything about books!
This is a terrific magazine for booklovers and book writers of all ages. Well worth a look.
Read a story in the making....
Ever heard of an Exquisite Corpse? It's not what you might think. An Exquisite Corpse is an old game in which people write a phrase on a sheet of paper, fold it over to conceal part of it and pass it on to the next player to do the same. The game ends when someone finishes the story, which is then read aloud.
Read.gov's "Exquisite Corpse Adventure" works this way: Jon Scieszka, the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature, has written the first episode, which is "pieced together out of so many parts that it is not possible to describe them all here, so go ahead and just start reading!" He has passed it on to a cast of celebrated writers and illustrators, who must eventually bring the story to an end.
Every two weeks, there will be a new episode and a new illustration. The story will conclude a year from now. To get bi-weekly updates with new Exquisite Corpse Adventure chapters, click here.
"This story starts with a train rushing through the night...." No one knows where or how it will end!

The Indigenous Literacy Project
The Indigenous Literacy Project (ILP) is a partnership between the Australian Book Industry and The Fred Hollows Foundation.
These communities select and order reading material from catalogues and sample books provided by The Australian Booksellers Association. The Fred Hollows Foundation staff also identify other literacy needs.
The books are then supplied to schools, libraries, early learning centres such as crèches, women's Centres and other identified institutions, to enhance their pool of literacy resources.
Our major fundraising effort in 2009 is Indigenous Literacy Day to be held on Wednesday September 2 2009.
