Interesting Literature Linked In

Sub-titled A Library of Literary Interestingness, this website specialises in quotes but also has things such as Five Fascinating Facts about Roald Dahl, 10 Great Quotations from Writers about Cats and Five Fascinating Facts about George Orwell's 1984. It's fun, idiosyncratic and perfect if you enjoy that kind of thing.
