Welcome to Brittle Paper! At some point, literature and philosophy went from something I studied to something I just loved, in the simplest of ways, with no strings attached. Brittle Paper came out of this sense that deep down books are simply pleasurable things, like a chilled glass of coke or a warm bath. The writings you’ll find here are nicely diverse. There are short reflections on novels, philosophical ideas, politics, etc. The book reviews give you the scoop on both old books and new releases. Then there is a collection of writings we call Brittles. These are original creative pieces specially conjured for your enjoyment and, perhaps, enchantment.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you come visit again. If you find something you really like, don’t forget to share on Facebook and Twitter.

At Brittle Paper, we love receiving emails from readers. But we particularly love emails that contain a little extra something — original work such as poems, fiction, photographs, reviews, etc. Send to brittlepaper@gmail.com.

Live for a while in these books, learn from them what seems to you worth learning, but above all love them. Your love will be repaid a thousand thousandfold. — Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet
