The geek girl pop culture site The Mary Sue talks about a Twitter post that went viral, revealing some very widespread notebook addiction amongst their staff and commenters: A few days ago, a Tweet went by that made me smile: “I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you already have six blank notebooks … Continue reading Notebook Addict(s) of the Week: The Mary Sue (And Hundreds of Thousands of People on Twitter)

This week’s addict is Alan Rusbridger, the former editor-in-chief of The Guardian. I’d read an article about him that mentioned he’d used over 200 Moleskines so far, so these must be just a few of them, featured on his Instagram account:
