New York Reading Hotspots

The National Book Foundation sponsored by Bloomberg has released a wonderful free pamphlet called Reading Hot Spots in New York City. I received this pamphlet at the 2008 Brooklyn Book Festival in Brooklyn Heights. The National Book Foundation will be at the upcoming Book Expo America in New York City from May 29-May 31. If you can't make it to the Book Expo or to the 2009 Brooklyn Book Festival you can e-mail Rebecca Keith and request a copy of the Reading Hot Spot Map.

With that said I wanted to play the game what New York Reading HotSpots have I been to? The list below will only cite the NYC Reading Hotspots that I have been to. If you would like to play along you can copy my list and ammend it based on the National Book Foundation's Reading Hot Spot Pamphlet to the literary hotspots you have been to. Let the fun begin!
