  • A Fateful Election
    New York Review of Books writers comment on the election. For some reason, I'm having a really hard time getting over the fact that Joan Didion just referenced "The View."

  • The Best Foreign Books You've Never Heard Of
    If you've frequented this joint at all, you know some of these already. The newest by Pelevin is in my TBR pile, and Out Stealing Horses was one of the best books I read last year.

  • Postman
    There's something I love about this type of light around October. (via jen)

  • World Animal Day at The Big Picture
    I've always been partial to narwhals, but in absence of any narwhals in your vicinity, hug your local pig.
