		<description><![CDATA[Jane Kramer tosses a lit toad into Montaigne’s lap – sitting in his tower, surrounded by his books, like nothing else in Tennessee: “He would have loved Google” (p. 40).
Would Montaigne have loved Google, which, according to Nicholas Carr, is making us stupid? Certainly, Montaigne was a blogger, his &#8220;hits&#8221; count initially limited by the fact that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=joelinker.wordpress.com&blog=2371298&post=865&subd=joelinker&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At the bottom of her n+1 review of Michele Lamont’s How Professors Think, Amanda Claybaugh laments that Lamont “fails” to answer the promise of her book’s title. Claybaugh appears to buy into the title’s assumption, that professors think differently than others. But why would professors think any differently than anyone else? Indeed, from the professor [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=joelinker.wordpress.com&blog=2371298&post=802&subd=joelinker&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In &#8220;The Gutenberg Galaxy&#8221; (1962), Marshall McLuhan was the first modern blogger. Though published in traditional book form, the structure resembles many of today’s blogs. Norman O. Brown followed suit with &#8220;Love’s Body,&#8221; in 1966. McLuhan and Brown built their books on a framework of short paragraphs full of quotes, or links, to a cornucopia [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=joelinker.wordpress.com&blog=2371298&post=42&subd=joelinker&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Montaigne’s autobiography, we find an essay titled “Why I Paint My Own Portrait”: 
“One day I was at Bar-le-Duc when King Francis II was presented a portrait that King Rene of Sicily had made of himself. Why, in a like manner, isn’t it lawful for every one of us to paint himself with his pen, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=joelinker.wordpress.com&blog=2371298&post=34&subd=joelinker&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
