From the shelf

Nothing in the canon is tethered to September 16. One line is set aside for this year, the same line for every reader.

If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.
Toni MorrisonA remark to students, repeated in talks from the early 1980s · c. 1981

In 2011 this day opens on Langston Hughes.

Arrow keys turn the day. S keeps the line. Slash focuses search.
