If you can’t be there in person, the best way to appreciate a great reading is Kate Gavino’s Tumblr, Last Night’s Reading. Instead of putting together a lengthy play-by-play of the event she witnessed, Gavino records the best quote, and accompanies it with a colorful sketch of the author. It sounds simple, but the results are striking and unforgettable. Click through for a few highlights.
