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...

Salvatore Dali's surreal illustrated wine bible and short stories that pack just as much punch as a novel. Bookish crafts? Yes, please. We are remembering the legacy of Pearl Harbor through these front pages of newspapers. There's a place for every book and a book for every state in the USA. You need these books to diversify your reading list. People have very mixed feelings about the semicolon. We have a recipe from George Washington. Yup, that George Washington. Did you know that these words and phrases you use all the time came from Alice in Wonderland? If you haven't dug into Naomi Klein's work yet, we have a guide to getting started for you.

TGIF:

No need to get up! Join our librarians from the home, office, playground — wherever you have internet access — for book recs on Twitter by following our handle @NYPLrecommends from 10 AM to 11 AM every Friday. Or, you can check NYPL Recommends any day of the week for more suggestions. ​

Start your weekend -- finally -- with something new to read. Tell us a book you like and we'll recommend another, until 11 AM EST. #fridayreads pic.twitter.com/jQiBhJzZWN
