A TBR Pile As An Aesthetic Choice
This is not the same brain that read through Gone With the Wind in a week in middle school. It's definitely not the same brain that won Accelerated Reading awards at the end of every year in elementary school. I can barely read exit signs on the highway now.

Web Zines To Revive Your Sense of Wonder in Literature
These online tales of tender hearts, cracked nails, wandering feet, and tensed jaws are almost obscene in their raw sentiment. And I think, rather than paying a subscription to a magazine that's lost touch with the common man, you should instead subscribe to these zines- your money goes farther, means more, and gives more opportunities to some of the best artists and storytellers the world has to offer. Click on the links in each description to get sent to their Twitter pages, where they have links to their respective websites!

Scientific Yogi
The goal of science is to find that one theory that unifies everything. The search is for the underlying unity that makes the universe work; right from the subatomic to cosmic levels. Yoga says that to find unity outside, create unity within. The word Yoga means to unite. Yoga brings this search within. It is a science of life, verifiable by personal experience. Can these two streams of discovery converge; one approaching unity from outside and another from within? What is the evidence of this convergence? This book spans the entire spectrum of Vedic and Yogic approaches, and it also delves into the latest scientific discoveries, highlighting the common principles. In this rollercoaster of a book, if you are challenged to seek more, its purpose will have been fulfilled.
