A couple of months ago I published this post about the Authors@Google program -- a program through which we invite authors to Google to share their ideas and talk about books, stories, research, and more. And I linked to the collection of taped talks in Google Video. They're still there, but I'm happy to let you know that Authors@Google now has a site to call its own. Check out our new home at www.google.com/talks/authors. Here you'll find the full (and growing) set of videos from the authors who have visited our participating offices worldwide (Mountain View and Santa Monica, CA; New York City; Ann Arbor, MI; Kirkland, WA; Boulder, CO; and London and Dublin across the pond).

Since I last posted, Jonathan Lethem, Strobe Talbott, Bob & Lee Woodruff, Tom Bissell, Allan Brandt, Don Tapscott, Senator Hillary Clinton, Eve Ensler, Jeff Cohen, and Carly Fiorina -- among others! -- have all visited us to share their thoughts and talk about their books. We're thrilled to be able to share these events with you, so do bookmark our page and visit often.

P.S. This weekend the Authors@Google team will be at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books, the largest book event in the United States, to show off our new site and library of events. If you happen to be attending on the UCLA campus, stop by our booth and say hello.
