I've picked up a nasty flu bug recently (thank you, Christmas bookstore shoppers) so I've basically been in bed for the last few days. Of course, I can still surf the web in between coughing fits. Came across this interesting post on works that are coming into public domain in 2008. There are some amazing names on this list. Artists like illustrator Kay Nielsen, children's author Jean de Brunhoff, muralist Diego Rivera, British novelist Joyce Cary, German filmmaker Max Ophuls, fantasy author Lord Dunsany, and American psychologist Wilhelm Reich.
