Sunday Reads - #GrabAChair

Feels good to be back in ol' New York City again, albeit for 5 days. The weather is cold, the breakfasts are mighty fine and the subways are still controlled by the Rat King. 

I've been hanging out with friends & putting some things in order before I fly back to Europe this week, which will entail four more flights and thus, a lot more reading. 

And on that note, here is some additional material for your eyeballs' pleasure:

• ...on archiving the Internet (The New Yorker)
• ...on having a stroke at age 33 (Buzzfeed - this is an actual article, believe me)
• ...on fancy toast & so much more (PS Mag - an oldie but if you haven't read this article, stop everything and do it)
• ...on tipping and why it sucks (Esquire)
• ...on our brains & religion (Salon)

PICK OF THE WEEK: The Code: A declassified and unbelievable hostage rescue story (The Verge)

BONUS - some beautiful auditory sounds to accompany your reading, by Sea Oleena.
