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...

New short fiction by Zinzi Clemmons, Elizabeth Strout, and Kang Han, as well as new nonfiction for children. Consider in the legacy of Sam Shepard at the Billy Rose Theatre Division. Sometimes, even librarians can't make it through a book. Check out the predecessors to dollars. We shared everything you need for #NationalBookLoversDay. We can recommend a book for you based on your NYC neighborhood. Kids love rhyming, and we've got ideas for children's poetry you'll love. Listen to classic short fiction when your eyes need a break.

Have you read any Maggie Nelson? THE ARGONAUTS is my favorite!
