WELCOME TO LBC
If you've arrived here via Forbes Magazine's kind mention, we invite you to take some time and look around. It's true, you've missed all the fun of the first round but the posts are archived for your reading pleasure. We'll be announcing our sophomore selection in September, and we do pop in here from time to time with posts, although things will be light here until then - after all, we do have daily blogs keeping us busy. But we hope you'll enjoy what we have to offer and that you'll participate in the spirited conversation that's unfolding within these precincts. Welcome!
As a shameless fan of LBC, glad to see it emerge from such a fascinating and volatile first round, seemingly intact and even name-checked in Forbes. Well done.
Looking forward to when the fireworks start popping off again in Sept.

I'm also looking forward to the broo-haa-haa. I need new material for my cartoons.

Congratulations ... LBC provides always an enjoyable literary journey :-)

No teasers of your new choices?? Personally, I greatly enjoyed "Case Histories" despite all the controversy. I suppose September isn't too far away...

Oh, you'll get a teaser from me very, very soon -- with the kind of pertinent pre-announcement info we provided last time. :)
