A writer once told me, "While an author is alive, the best way to honor them is to buy their books, so they get the royalties. Once an author is dead, the best way to honor them is to read their books--at least at that point you know how many you have to go until you've read them all."

Now another list has been capped: Pippi Longstocking creator Astrid Lindgren has passed away. According to her obit, Lindgren wrote more than a hundred 'works'; it might be a while before I get to all of them, but I think I might track down one of the Pippi books later this week. It's been too long since I visited Viila Villekulla.
