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...

The Librarian-in-Chief's favorite book for kids. Noam Chomsky and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis talked about the sickest joke in history on the NYPL podcast. On National Coffee Day we hollered at Caffee Reggio where Kerouac, Ginsberg, et. al. hung out. During Banned Books Week and beyond, we love these banned books. What's your patronus? We think a patronus plus these words could turn you into a writer. After Orlando, #LoveisLove comes to comics. Can we get some praise hands for the 11-year-old wunderkind behind #1000BlackGirlBooks who is launching Marley Mag with ELLE? NBD, we've got an adorable book train.
