The Darkwood Review

It's a no-pic-only-words kind of blogs, they kind I usually skip fairly fast. It looks simple, quite ugly to be frank, but if you're into literature - you'd love it.

It's a blog about literature, not entirely dedicated to reviews, and it's written so..accurate. There I found the post entitled How to get published in Granta:

Joseph O'Neil, who wrote the tragically boring, tragically overhyped, tragic novel "Netherland" has figured out for the rest of you toiling shmucks how to get published in Granta: take a grainy picture of a closed Advanced Auto Parts store, write a paragraph of dead prose about it and click submit.

Getting literal: Chekhov's Mistress

As a kid I used to love reading books. Also later, there's something in books that you cannot experience any other way. The imagination, the paper, the print, the smell. I'm always sorry to find out how little patience this world has those days, and how it's getting harder just to find the piece of mind and read. No emails, no sms, just sit and read.

Instead of feeling guilty I went on a search for some good literature-related blogs, and found a few. Chekhov's Mistress has a great title, so it took me very fast. Also the issues discussed there and the print-like design got me. It's the best blog for me, with subjects such as: "writing in computer isolation". Welcome to my life.
