“I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.” ― Groucho Marx We’ve been hearing great things about Wonder by R.J. Palacio, from our sister division Random House Children’s Books, so we’re going to hunker down with that tonight. What are you reading this weekend?

unjustlyunread: A visual poem by dsh, from Begin Again: A Book of Reflections and Reversals (w/ an introduction by Stefan Themerson).

Dashboard? More Like Bookshelf: Your Guide to... →
We would say this guide by The Millions to literary Tumblrs is fantastic even if we weren’t included on it. But we were, which makes us love it even more! (We also are aware of the irony in text linking to an article that calls us “[i]mage-heavy in a great way,” but what can we say - we like to keep people on their toes.)
