The Rumpus Sunday Book Blog Roundup

Literary tattoos.

Gawker reporter says that media and journalism “just as connection driven as fashion, business, and Wall Street.”

A very cool trailer at Electric Literature (via). I have to say I like their model.

Jacket Copy asks if this cover of a book about bulimia is “horribly graphic.”

And as promised, the exception: Sally Forth does Pynchon. Really. (via)
