“There are now about 250 million people worldwide living in jurisdictions which provide for marriage equity.” (via FiveThirtyEight: Politics Done Right: Gay Marriage Chart-of-the-Day)

Read Margaret Talbot’s post on the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA): “If you believe the courts offer the best route for getting rid of bans on same-sex marriage, then you should be saying ‘I-told-you-so’ this week. In Boston on Thursday, a district court judge overturned part of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), declaring unconstitutional its ban on federal recognition of same-sex marriages that are legal at the state level.”

TIME'S ARROW - about us

The arrow of time. Interesting concept. Does it really exist? Or, is there a wheel of time? How about all things happening at once? These are the things I was thinking about when I named my new site TIME’S ARROW. In this case, I liked grouping things on an arrow of time, a timeline. Check it out.

Things like book awards are interesting to look at in a timeline. The book award that got me interested in thinking about timelines was the Pulitzer Prize Winner for Fiction

http://times-arrow.com/timelines/1

I wondered, how many of these books have I read? What are the major themes in the books as a group? How did the themes change as time scooted along? What do they say about America? Which Author has won it the most? Which ones were my favorite? I’d probably have to say it was The Brief & Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao:

Close second favorites: Middlesex, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, The Hours, The Killer Angels, Angle of Repose.

Then I input added all the major english speaking book awards for fiction

Oooh a bigger data set! I wonder which books won multiple awards? I like seeing the covers line up when that book won multiple awards that year.
