  7. Group sends female inmates books

    The message itself was simple: &quot;I was so alone and then I got your package," it read. "Thank you so much. I love the books. Thank you and God bless." Yet there was something about the handwriting, a delicate and elegant script, that moved Megan Bernard to fold the note up and put it in her wallet, where she keeps it still. "It was just so human, so personal, that it really resonated with me," said Bernard, a volunteer with Chicago Books to Women in Prison. "It's a very grounding reminder that even if you can't overhaul the prison system, you can at least reach back to someone who is reaching out to you." For 11 years, the group has been reaching out to incarcerated women with the gift of literature and human connection, reassuring those on the inside that they're not forgotten and reminding those on the outside not to forget.

  9. Word power

    Earlier this year, when Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed a 100-book required reading list for his compatriots, it provoked anxiety, rekindling memories of Soviet-era censorship. The furor underscored an important point: that literature plays a fundamental role in defining a country's culture and its discourse.
