I just found this on Tor.com. Artist Martin Vargic has recently completed a fictional map that acts as a compendium of world literature, now available in a poster form on Zazzle. For those who prefer simply viewing it on the Internet, it can be found at Halcyon Maps. I gotta say, it's quite an experiment. It's a bit crowded, but that seems to be because the artist had a lot to say. I recommend it to map and literature lovers.

The wind blows, for good or ill, and I must follow.

Busy, but stunning nonetheless. This is something I'd like to have in my study framed, but I am short on wall-space (almost all flat surfaces are covered in shelves). The map itself reminds me of the kind of quality I admire over at the Cartographer's Guild: http://www.cartographersguild.com
I thought I saw a unicorn on the way here, but it was just a horse with one of the horns broken off.
