NYPL #FridayReads: The Surreal 'Stache Edition May 12, 2017
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...
Books about adults who don't want to grow up, poetry about Grand Central Station by one of our amazing Cullman fellows, and new picture books for the still young. Surreal facial hair for those Dali vibes. That time that George Saunders interviewed Susan Sarandon. Not all of the 50 types of PDFs are created equal; learn more about file types. Maurice Sendak: "As an aspiring artist, you should strive for originality of vision. Have something to say and a fresh way of saying it." What's the difference between a comic book and a graphic novel? It's time to ogle goggles because we rounded up cool eyeglasses for you. We'll hook you up with the ACLU digital archive for free.
