New Timewasters!

As if we all needed some more distractions, right?

Between the Covers Rare Books has unveiled its newest biblio-game, Letter-ature (lower right). It's like Wheel of Fortune, but with books. They also have Famous First Lines (upper right), which I confess to being completely and utterly terrible at.

Another one that's making the rounds lately and which has proven rather addictive for me is FreeRice, a vocab game where for every correct answer, ten grains of rice are purchased (by advertisers) and donated through the World Food Program. A neat idea, nicely executed.
