Every Friday I point you towards some recommended reading around the blogosphere:
1. I love Bill Keller’s plea for Congress to start reciting poetry in The New York Times Magazine. (Hat tip: Practicing Writing)
2. And speaking of poetry, here’s what it looks like when writers experience schadenfreude. (Hat tip: Lisa Romeo Writes)
3. If, like me, you spent years of your life attending academic conferences, you’ll love this post on ASA Vegas Bingo at orgtheory.net.
4. Via Communicatrix’s ongoing 50-for-50 birthday extravaganza, I came across my new favorite blog, 37 Days by writer Patti Digh. Here’s a great post on why all we need to add pleasure to our to-do list.
5. Washington, DC natives will adore this DC stereotype map.
6. Finally, it’s about time that someone thought of this. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the male corset.
Have a great weekend!
