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...

90 ways of looking at John Ashbery - through the 90 best Ashbery lines selected by writers. Meet Christian, a patron who found space and opportunity at the Library. Is writing a long novel a feminist act? Expert book recommender Nancy Pearl visited The Librarian Is In. Raoul Peck gave us the skinny on his gorgeous James Baldwin documentary I Am Not Your Negro.  Get a library card stat - it's this easy. Who do you think will win the Man Booker this year? An oldie but goodie: Werner Herzog on the podcast discussing the death sentence and filmmaking. Daphne du Maurier forever!
