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...

30 new female mystery writers keeping Agatha Christie's legacy alive. For noobs: this is how to get into Susan Sontag. For old fans: 7 little-known facts about the icon. Sometimes librarians find weird stuff in books. New old greats in the Digital Collection include photographs from the WPA. Edgar Allen Poe's top 10 greatest deaths for the macabre at heart. These English language writers have found audiences abroad. We should all take a cue from the four-year-old who's already read 1,000 books. Get published in NYPL's new zine, NYPL!Zine.  Art Spiegelman dedicated years to the work of the artist S.I. Lewen. "Art can have a social impact even if it may be difficult to see the effects of that impact."
