Book relief

Books would be great if they weren't boring.

They're really hard work. You have to use your imagination. It's not like watching a film where they show you the setting so you don't have to think about it for yourself.

Well, fellow literature intolerants, I'm here to help with a couple of creations that might take the hell out of Othello.

Google Lit Trips uses Google Earth to map out and bring to life a whole host of literary journeys.



Littourati does a similar thing with Google Maps (though seems to be pretty Kerouac-obsessed).



I'd like to see them map Jules Verne's 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth'.
