I have been totally mesmerized by the photos of Ourit Ben-Haim. Her photo series Underground New York Public Library shows New Yorkers on the subway reading. Here are a few of my favorite photos:
“Just My Type” by Simon Garfield
“Doctor Zhivago” by Boris Pasternak
“The Birth of Tragedy” by Friedrich Nietzsche
“New York by Edward” Rutherfurd
Also, check out this interview with Ourit.

It’s the weekend, but since I got off work Wednesday, life is a weekend! Hoping to spend my last week at home enjoying the beach and the nature and the books.
Some links of the past week. Get ready they’re really good:
Despite the 2 foot separation between them, Shaq and his girlfriend Hoopz still love each other.
Explaining how to actually wear a bandeau. Ps. this is the most blatant pr/seo article I have ever read.
Oh, Arrested Development Hipster Quote Tumblr.. you are so funny.
A mission few could endure, 365 days of the movie Julie and Julia: The Lawrence and Julie and Julia Project.
I want to make this. All I need is an attention span and all of the materials.
I want this classy, tiny trailer.
In retrospect, all these links seem just okay. Sorry.
I would get this temporary tattoo, but I am not confident that I truly love NYC more then Milton. He seemed pretty into the city in the documentary To Inform and Delight.
