“A Room of My Own. To Share. Sometimes.” for 20 Something Reads
“I wrote in bed in hotels in the desert,” said the author Paul Bowles of how and where he crafted his most famous book, THE SHELTERING SKY. How romantic is that?

“The Possible Hypocrisy of The Hunger Games Movies” for 20 Something Reads

“All the way to Timbuktu” for Fulbright
The first word I learned in the Malian language Bambara was toubab. I must have heard it a hundred times a day, called out to me by children playing with sticks in the street, store-owners having tea on the corner, women pounding millet with babies tied to their backs. Roughly, it means “whitey.”… Continue reading here.
How To Ride Your Bike In Style for Instructables/Neighbors Project
NO MORE OF THIS: ”I would bike to work/the party, but then I’d have to sacrifice my slammin’ style and trade it for some more cycle-friendly get-ups.” LOTS MORE OF THIS:
