When BrainPickings.org’s
founder Maria Popova was asked by the New York Public Library to curate a
selection of books for its bookstore, she decided to create four reading lists:
books on NYC, books on pets and animals, books for young readers, and, last but
not least, a collection of wisdom
on writing. But rather than simply gather books for a tabletop display,
Popova partnered with artist Kelli Anderson to construct a papercraft diorama
showcasing each title in painstaking detail. The resulting
installation is both beautiful and a fantastic resource for anyone looking
to be re-inspired before Autumn Quarter begins.

which includes works by Ray Bradbury, George Orwell, Henry Miller, and Susan
Sontag, as well as several edited collections of essays.
