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...

About Loving v. Virginia in anticipation for the film Loving about the couple who helped make history and whose last name was really Loving. Know your polling location for Tuesday's election, as well as these obscure words. Even Jane Austen got rejected sometimes. We're getting into NaNoWriMo with these tips from writers. Halloween may be over, but these horror movie roles are the greatest of all time. When it comes to Lucy Maude Montgomery heroines, you're either an Anne Shirley or a Lucy Starr. We have pieces of Percy Shelley's skull. Creepy! Guess which sci-fi movies made President Obama's list of favorite films. "For me, making art was like breathing. I didn't want to do anything else." Marina Abramovic joined us for the podcast this week.
