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...

Beloved Asian American literature during Asian Pacific American Heritage Month and beyond. Are you a fan of Riverdale? Then you just may love these books too. Kick off Pride Month right with our thirty picks for #RainbowReading! The Schomburg Center has scored an amazing archive of jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins's notes and recordings. Small but satisfying: some quick reads for the busiest bibliophiles. Manhattanhenge is really cool, and so are the books on our Manhattanhenge reading list.

More witty, sardonic, flawed but likeable characters? Romantic comedies?
How about THE PORTABLE VEBLEN by Elizabeth McKenzie
