This week was sloooooow. I had a lot of time for reading, so I mostly worked my way through The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer – which I’m almost done with – and re-read a few of the chapters in Songs in the Key of Z just because I felt like it. The one really exciting thing that I did this week was…finally book a flight to London! I’m going for a week in November, so hit me up with all of your suggestions. I’ll also be stopping over in Iceland for two days at the end of the trip, so if you have any suggestions for that, I’m all ears.
Here are five things I liked this week:
1. “The Men Who Dare to Be Demented” by Katie Notopoulos (Buzzfeed)
2. “Scout’s Honor” by Rosecrans Baldwin (Oxford American)
3. Fly Art
(This is a Tumblr of classic artwork mashed up with hip hop lyrics.)
4. “The Letters That Warren G. Harding’s Family Didn’t Want You to See” by Jordan Michael Smith (The New York Times)
5. All of the songs I’ve been listening to this week, on one playlist

Hi H – What’s your take on The Interestings? It’s been on my list of books to read for a while (I’d hoped my book club would make it happen, but, alas, that was not to be). Thanks!
I just finished The Interestings on Saturday and definitely recommend. I found it to be really thoughtful and compelling. Let me know if you end up picking it up!
