I don't terribly often link to other sites, and it's not like my flagging an article that was already in the New York Times is going to earn said article any wider dissemination, but I just couldn't resist this one: Your Brain on Fiction.
So apparently reading fiction makes you smarter. Kinda seems like something a lot of us already knew, but hey, we fiction writers, assaulted, staggering away from the hulking threat of obsolescence, need all the help we can get. Maybe I should order up some bumper stickers: If you value your emotional acuity, thank a novelist.
I figure as long as it fits on a ribbon it'll sell, right?
