Visit linkThe Marginalian is the long-running essay site of Maria Popova, formerly known as Brain Pickings. Its long reflective pieces combine books, ideas and meaning, and the archive includes a Favorite Reads page, an Almanac of Birds and the Universe in Verse project. Books by the author, including Figuring and A Velocity of Being, extend the same material. Posts range from a dictionary of obscure sorrows to a piece on the Ode to Joy by Beethoven. The site is funded by readers rather than by advertising.
