Friday Link Love 3/21
It has been a slow week here at Brad’s Reader. As I said in an earlier post, I’m working on another writing project with a looming deadline that I need to get finished. So I have been spending most of my free time working on that other project. Hopefully, next week I’ll be back in full swing and have some meaty feature posts for you to read.
But for now, here’s another Friday Link Love post. I really love putting these together and it has become a staple to my Thursday night routine. I only hope you get the same enjoyment out of reading these various posts as I have.
Friday is here! So without further delay, it’s time to forget about your crummy day job and get serious about relaxing. Find a comfortable spot and enjoy these links! As always, have a safe and happy weekend!

These are some surprisingly simple ways to live your life better. And you don’t even have to give up all your worldly possessions and move to a monastery (although it wouldn’t hurt).
The Evolution of Websites
Here’s a great post that profiles 10 very popular websites and shows how they have changed over the years, and in some cases, how they haven’t changed. All I have to say is "Apple, what were you thinking?"
Obama, Faulkner , and Race
During an election year (here in the US), it’s hard to ignore all the politics around us. So here’s a post that melts politics and literature.
7 Easy Steps to a More Pretentious Poem
A very funny post about how absurd some poetry can go. For the record, I think a certain amount of pretentiousness can be a good thing in all matters of life.
Random Post from Brad’s Reader
Here’s one I dusted off from last fall. It seemed fitting because I’m actually gonna be reading the book this post talks about!
