Their list of famous SIBLs is fun to browse (though it's discouraging that it contains so many typos). They also sponsor a yearly songwriting competition. What songs inspired by literature are you aware of? If they're not already in The SIBL Project's list, I'll collect them and e-mail them to The SIBL Project. |
