Weekend Links 12-31-21

Happy New Year! Here is a collection of fun links for your New Year's weekend.

With the calendar turning over to 2022, a whole bunch of books are entering the public domain. The entire list is here.

Not guilty after all? New research may have exonerated King Richard III.

Anthony Horowitz discusses the inspiration and process for writing Alex Rider.

Cary Grant almost didn't star in North By Northwest. He managed to work out a pretty good deal for himself in the end.

Apparently sausage vending machines are popular in Germany. I'd certainly give them a try.

Elly Griffiths on why crime fiction and the theater world go hand in hand.

Film noir is the genre that Hollywood first resisted and then eventually embraced.

I somehow missed that Cheez-Its turned 100 this year.

Joel Miller offers some great advice on how to read more books.

The true story of one of the worst baseball teams of all time. And it is not the 1962 New York Mets.
