"Ever wonder which intricate, elaborately-named drinks might be consumed if your favorite authors and characters wandered into a Starbucks? How many pumpkin lattes J.K. Rowling would drink? Or if Cormac McCarthy needed caffeine, which latte would be laconic enough? Look no further; Literary Starbucks explores such pressing matters with humor and erudition. Set over the course of a single day, and replete with puns and satirized literary styles, the three authors go darker, stronger, and more global than the blog in book format, including illustrations by acclaimed New Yorker cover artist and cartoonist Harry Bliss,"--Amazon.com.

Review of 'Literary Starbucks' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

Fun take on authors and their idiosyncrasies, mixed with modern coffee culture.

It's one of those things that are perfect literature for five minute breaks, because you can start and leave off pretty much wherever you want, and get a chuckle or three out of it.

As any good publishing of blogged material, it's not just literarystarbucks.com/ either, but has a few more authors covered, and it's all arranged to make sense as a greater narrative.

In short, I love it!
