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...

Game-changing reads recommended by our patrons and books that made Don DeLillo a grateful reader. What questions do you need to ask before cleaning out your bookshelves? Oh what a tangled web we weave! But not as tangled as these Charlotte-inspired characters. Even poets need to pay their bills. The White Whale has changed over time, but there's still no word for memoir in German. Writer's write about writing in these books for the budding artist, or if you can't get enough, you can always just read these 96 books Stephen King recommends for writers. Get in the Spirit, people. Learn all about Margaret Atwood's Shakespearean YouTube discoveries.
