Magazine Round Up

Every Friday we get new magazines. Some of the titles we did not ask for (like Fairway Living Your Luxury Lifestyle Resource and Major League Soccer, The Magazine for Soccer Lovers) and some I love (like The Believer and Juxtapoz).

This week I feel the need to share the thoughts that crossed my mind as I unpacked our magazines today.

My secret boyfriend James Franco is on the cover of Out.

Amy Adams is looking fantastic on Vanity Fair, she used to work at Hooters?

Hugh Jackman is on a horse for Men's Journal

And Martha wants you to make everything by hand for the holidays in Martha Stewart Holiday, Special Edition

I find I never take the time to read magazines, but I do love looking at the pictures.

Library Envy

As a book lover I dream of one day owning a house and finally giving my books a room of their own. In this dream there are floor to ceiling bookshelves filled with well read and loved books. Come to find out my dream library gets put to shame by Jay Walker's real library. I'm a little jealous and a lot in love. Thank you Wired magazine for bringing this national treasure to my attention.

The last paragraph of the article is the best.
"Walker struggles to balance privacy with his impulse to share his finds with the outside world. School children often visit by invitation, as do executives, politicians, and scholars."

I have one question: How do I get invited?

Books and the non-death of reading

I was reading The Olive Reader, and found an amazing article Dave Eggers wrote for Esquire. It's on reading and it is wonderful. I hope you'll read it and love reading all the more! The Future of Words.
