Friday Favourites

 


Enjoy the sunshine today Camrose, the weekend is going to be chilly!

Here is what we found this week for you:

If classic books were pitched by supermarket magazines. These are spot on! Link

From the same website, a post on famous poems read by famous people, including “If You Forget Me,” by Pablo Neruda, read by Madonna and “Children,” by Khalil Gibran, read by James Earl Jones. And... if you don't want to sleep tonight... “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe and read by Vincent Price. 😨 Link

We just discovered the BBC News World Service Book Club and we love it. The current episode and the archives are all available. (This year they are focusing on women authors.) Author interviews, book reviews and lists of recommendations.  Link

Are you following along with the library's Subject Matters program? September's theme is OPERA! We have compiled a mix of videos on a YouTube playlist. We have everything from TED Talks to cartoons to full recordings of performances. Lots of introductory videos too! Link.
