Oh yes, you read that right: giveaway edition. I emailed a few t-shirt companies to see if anyone was interested in sponsoring a giveaway here at Bookishly Boisterous and the awesome folks over at Literary Rags got back to me first. They offer shirts with a wide variety of novelists, poets, dramatists, philosophers and other intellectuals and advise you to "wear what you read." A few of my favorites:
(Dostoyevski; back reads, "The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for)
(Fitzgerald; back reads, "Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy")
(Fitzgerald; back reads, "Show me a hero and I'll write you a tragedy")
There are others in the same format (many come in different colors besides black) featuring Jane Austen, Earnest Hemingway, Arthur Miller, C.S. Lewis, Jack Kerouac, Hunter S. Thompson (a good one), and Virginia Woolf.
To enter you can do one of the following (1 = 1 entry, 2 =2, etc...)
