A few weeks ago, the folks over at Thinkmap Visual Thesaurus asked me for a list of my favorite reads for their Dog Eared column. You can see a sample of my picks by going to www.visualthesaurus.com and looking at the right-hand column.

What’s Visual Thesaurus? It’s really cool website where language opens up in completely cool and unexpected ways through literary-minded links. It’s a subscriber service, but you can read the front page for free, or sample the whole shebang, also for free.
