- Sarah Utter: Be it mug, t-shirt, or bumper sticker, grab something from her super cute Reading is Sexy line, and broadcast your brains and your girl bits simultaneously.
- Literary Luminaries: Waiting on the weather for that trip to the lighthouse? You'll relish the rain when you get to break out your Virginia Woolf umbrella. Or spend monsoon season catching up on correspondence with the delightfully artsy Great Writers boxed note card set.
- Shakespeare's Den: What could be more fun than a James Joyce finger puppet? You might even be inspired to craft your greatest work of poetry with a genuine quill pen, or give the gift of kitsch with author action figures.
- Cafepress: Spice up your cubicle with some cheesy literary goodness. Choose a design and put it on just about anything, from magnet to clock to mouse pad to bbq apron? I love that I can put Leopold Bloom on 90 products; yes, everything from my dog to my bum. Don't like anything they have to offer? Make your own.
- Smart Women: Though I've been a fan of the Smart Women Thirst for Knowledge cups since I saw them in Bust many years ago, I only recently discovered their line of library/office goodies. I plan to buy the sweet Reader's Journal as soon as stock replenishes.
- Speaking of Bust, you don't have to be into women's lib to dig these Dorothy Parker martini glasses. Because sometimes a good book is best paired with a drink. (Hemingway, anyone?)
- Library of Congress: I'm always on the lookout for curious decor for my future hypothetical library in my future hypothetical mansion. I adore this lovely print Disgusted With Life, She Retired to the Society of Books for my reading room, as well as these vintage Federal Art Project propaganda prints.
