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.

Sometimes on a cold day, all we want to do is stream classic movies—for free! Here's the skinny on Captain America, ICYMI. "We still hope for a happy ending," Annie Proulx said during her National Book Awards speech. Keep your books looking spiffy the rare book expert way.  Here are twelve ways to get more out of the Library. That's it; we're moving to one of these "book towns."
