Bookmarklets

I have fallen in love with bookmarklets. I have in fact become obsessed with bookmarklets. These handy javascripts, masquerading as bookmarks can allow you one to do an amazing array of things, including efficiently searching the world of literature. I have created (or tweaked) the following bookmarklets:
