Friday procrastination: link love – sukkahs, slush, and Dr Seuss

Happy Friday to all of you.  I hope you have had some time to take advantage of the lovely weather this week- I’ve become a regular in Bryant Park (I’m the one with the green Kindle slowly but surely making my way through Infinite Jest). Here are some links to get you to 5 o’clock, enjoy!

Building a sukkah?  Here is some literary inspiration.

There is no escaping McDonald’s.

Slush reading, Seuss style.

Marilynne Robinson is living in NYC.

The tablets are coming, the tablets are coming.

I kinda want to be Dr. Carolyn Porco.

Betsey Johnson to design Eloise-inspired room at the Plaza Hotel.

A 1943 guide to hiring women. One example, “Pick young married women. They usually have more of a sense of responsibility than their unmarried sisters, they’re less likely to be flirtatious, they need the work or they wouldn’t be doing it, they still have the pep and interest to work hard and to deal with the public efficiently.”

It is early for holiday gifts but I’m pretty sure this tee shirt will make that loveable dork in your life very happy.

A bookish art project.
