Found In The Margins

Reading. Yep, reading. You're doing it as we speak! Reading is an invariably integral part of human living. Think about the last time you went without reading anything. You'd probably find it hard pressed to make it out of your house before you saw some sort of combination of letters that undoubtedly equated to a word. From brand names and billboards, to music blogs and novels. We read everything. It's how we navigate from street to street. It's how we learn. There are millions of different languages over the entire planet, yet they're all written, because we've got to set it in stone (or in ink), and thus, we are reading what has been said year after year, age after age.

I certainly love reading, not to mention writing. I'm a novelist, myself, and of course I've got this handy dandy little blog of mine. Reading is fundamental to me, especially with the great books that surround us in our local bookstores or public libraries; a plethora of knowledge - an infinite collection of literary genius, fiction and non - just on the tips of our mental palette. "Ibi Dreams Of Pavement..." and writes wonderful novels; whether it's contemporary writers like Kaslik, Martel, Murakami, or past writers, like Fitzgerald, Orwell, Nabokov, Bronte, there is plenty of material to enhance to life with, ink laid firmly on their pages.

Found In The Margins is a website dedicated to sharing the wealth in reading by... well... sharing! The idea is, the folks from Found In The Margins interview musicians, writers, and activists, and allows these idols of our modern age speak their opinions on the books that make their worlds go 'round. We aren't talking just any old folks now: From Los Campesinos!, The Most Serene Republic, Brendan Canning, Peter Bjorn & John, Tegan & Sara; all such musical artists declare their love for literature.

So run on down to Found In The Margins and search up your favourite musical artist. Find out what they read, and get your knowledge on, as the hip kids say these days.
