Weekend reads: Week of January 10, 2026

Here's a collection of literary posts that we didn't share on our reader blog this past week but thought were worth highlighting.

• Thomas Paine: The many lives of a radical founder (The New York Times) 

• Sarah Moss: ‘I never liked Wuthering Heights as much as Jane Eyre’ (The Guardian)

• Escape the early January doldrums by letting J.R.R. Tolkien read to you (Literary Hub)
