Five Links for a Final Friday (October)

Time for this month’s link pack:

1. A day late, a dollar short: The Man Booker Prize just went to its youngest winner ever—Eleanor Catton, who was born 1 day before me. Congrats, Eleanor!
2. I love this photo roundup of vintage bookmobiles.
3. Joseph Stalin, editor (filed under “I had no idea”).
4. Dion Blundell, editor for B. Alan Wallace, on the rewards of working on Dharma translations.
5. I am excited and humbled to announce that I will be attending the Mind & Life Institute’s 27th conference, Craving, Desire, and Addiction, in Dharamsala, India from October 28–November 1. Videos of the conference will be posted on Mind and Life’s site after the event, and I hope to blog about it here as well.
