NYPL #FridayReads: The Like Edgar Allen Poe Edition October 13, 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 to read on coming out and when you're waiting to read John Green's Turtles All the Way Down. We've got lots of Hispanic Heritage Month e-resources for you! Making your kid a reader is this easy. Come see Open House New York sites like Edgar Allen Poe Cottage. These 137 writers have signature words. Listen to new MacArthur Fellow Jesmyn Ward discuss her latest novel. Sometimes people try to hack the New York Times bestseller list. New York history comes alive as Mike Wallace talks to Jelani Cobb. Get a glimpse of John Lennon's New York. If you want to dive into Nobel Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro's work, we can help you get started.

Sure, good challenge. Both are semi-autobiographical lit fic... how about THE LOVER by Margeurite Duras? Different but amazing. #FridayReads
