"That's because we are uncool! And most of the great art in the world is about that very problem. Good-looking people have no spine! Their art never lasts! They get the girls, but we're smarter."
- Lester Bangs, Almost Famous

Bibliomania One of the coolest free e-book sites, ever. God bless these souls, whoever they are. Champions of that Orwellian class of crumby book addicts, working tirelessly to help the second-hand generation of readers.
The Hoot The Hoot, or the Media on the Media, in the subcontinent. Very down-to-earth, no-holds-barred kind of writing, on the media in India. It also represents an association of journalists and mediapersons, who are working at building a team, who want to do their job well. Has some very good articles, although some of them are from The Hindu and Frontline (two publications that I have a pretty sceptical view of) and so tend to be pretty poker-faced that way. But has some good articles by Sevanti Ninan and Lalitha Sridhar.
Motif is a fortnightly magazine dedicated to writers, poets, artists, designers and such like. Has some great fiction, features, editorials, and even photographs and art, and an active forum.
