I was just scanning Ominivoracious, Amazon’s books blog, when I noticed that one of the entries contained an interview with Mike Phillips. Some of you might remember my previous entry about Mike and his appearance on This American Life. In the Amazon interview, Mike talks about his wish that more books would be released in accessible electronic formats. He also discusses his tastes in books. We seem to share a fondness for the darker side of the fiction spectrum and in particular for George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice fantasy series (that next volume can’t come out soon enough). He also heaps praise on Cormac McCarthy’s The Road. I feel like I’m one of a handful of people in the country who didn’t care for that book.
