Brain Pickings is my favorite new site.  I found out about it from the New York times, and have been tasting and savoring many of Maria Popova’s discoveries.  This is from the book  How to Be an Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum by Keri Smith.

I love her multi-sensory, whimsical approach to creativity and the mind.  Reading this book is a great way to start the year!
