Saturday Good Reads



Most of us are too young to remember (even me), but there was a time when a new technological change upended the publishing industry – it was called the paperback book, says writer Andrew Shaffer. Anita Mathias considers writing and prayer and writes a letter to a young, aspiring writer. Adam Blumer finds a sure cure for writer’s ego.

Then there are some striking photos, like an image of how time may have started and one of a sunset that I still find haunting. And five paintings by Van Gogh – re-created with spices. And what’s behind a song called ‘Winter in New York.” All great stuff.
