During the week, it can be tough to stay on top of everything. On Fridays, though, we suggest kicking back to catch up on all the delightful literary reading the internet has to offer. Don’t have the time to hunt for good reads? Never fear. We’ve rounded up the best bookish reading of the week for you.

We Read...

Elena Ferrante's fiction is coming to the stage and theater “to be worth its salt…must have in that salt a fair sprinkling of gunpowder.” We've got 150 years of political campaign ephemera, the coolest pop-up Rosh Hashanah cards, and a spot in this collection of every NYC library photographed. Find your next book based on your feelings. Even the second most hated man in America got sympathy. Julia Alvarez remembers the wonderful writer Gloria Naylor. If you can't make it to Comic Con, you can still read our librarians's favorite comics. Not to brag, but a lot of amazing books have been written at the New York Public Library. Finally, hear Sally Mann talk Cy Twombly and the babushkas who saved Russian art.

@clarkvalentine Awesome! We have to go with Ursula K. LeGuin first. THE DISPOSSESSED also has great world-building. #FridayReads
