Shakespeare may have died 396 years ago today, but he springs back to life with Milton Glaser’s stunning 36 faces of William Shakespeare. 

I helped make one of these. ~*~bUt wHiCh~*~

Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Sonnet 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.
Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come;
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
      If this be error and upon me proved,
     I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

In joint celebration of World Book Night and Shakespeare’s birthday, the poet Don Paterson matched a Shakespeare sonnet to each of the 25 specially chosen titles to be given away up and down the country this evening

In this week’s issue, George Packer tells the stories of some of the Occupy protesters; Adam Gopnik explores “The Lord of the Rings,” “Twilight,” and young-adult fantasy books; James Surowiecki on Europe’s catastrophic stubbornness; Paul Slansky administers a debates quiz in Shouts & Murmurs; Lauren Collins on wireless network names [subscription required]; and more.

Great cover!! Love the Shakespeare busts and t-shirts. How long before Shakespeare is read more from t-shirts than from books? Quickly I hope; get a t-shirt!

The movie “Anonymous,” which questions Shakespeare’s identity, inspired Cartoon Editor Bob Mankoff to explore past New Yorker cartoons featuring Shakespeare: http://nyr.kr/tH6m7z
