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...

365 books written by authors who are women, because reading women isn't just for International Women's Day. What's going on with journalism today?  How does a writer deal with being a public figure? This is women's history in our Digital Collection Images, and it is powerful to see. Evangelicalism is part of NYC history too. Read Kate Chopin's short fiction if you loved The Awakening. Sometimes you accidentally become a chick lit author. Walt Whitman rocked a big hat well. Why yes, we do have Lou Reed's archive now.
