Keep Calm and Read a Book

Update on the Summer Reading:

It is progressing. I am well on my way through The Monuments Men, and Moby Dick. I’ve also got my Tolkien on deck and am working on procuring Don Quixote.

Until I can find adequate time to finish my next book, here are some lovely pages to keep you distracted–I mean, entertained. These are all on Facebook, and I have found that they brighten up my News Feed. Many are insightful, literature inspired pages that I follow. And often re-post, I must admit.

1) Old English Literature is a page dedicated to the classics, chock full of Dickens, Shakespeare, and Austen, among others.

2) A Love Affair With Literature is for all things literary. And for those that know that what we have with our books is a forever love.

3) Word Porn certainly has a cheeky name, but is a page devoted to language and the humanities. Many of the quotes on here are fantastic.

4) Readmore Bookstore is also on Facebook! They are you friendly local bookseller.

5) Just for fun: you can also follow pretty much any author you like, living or dead. My list includes the usual suspects, as well as Gertrude Stein and Emile Zola.
