Over at his blog, Seth Godin asks that those of us who have a copy of his book, The Dip, to share it with a friend.
I loved it so much, it's already making the rounds with my mates.
Read it, it's worth it.

Sydney is to get herself a gay library; a good thing considering the rich history of GLBTI culture in this city.
For us women though, there already is a substantial collection at The Women's Library in Newtown and some also at Jessie Street National Women's Library in the city though the collections are both quite out of date as they rely mostly on donations. Jessie St. also has some 'fact files' on their website of Wonderful Women of Australia.
Let's hope the new library collection is representative of ALL gay (and bi and trans and intersex and queer) culture in the city and not just that of gay men.
Sarah Waters has been shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize (again!) for The Night Watch.
You can read a webchat with her; here's a sample:
JaneTR: do you think being a lesbian has added to your creativity?
SarahW: Ah, the curse of gayness... Yes, my people have always been a creative bunch.
I like that they thought her response was serious! I can see her with tongue firmly in cheek... "my people" indeed!
I recommend the book x
