And Speaking of JSF...

...Jonathan Safran Foer's Tree of Codes.  Awesome.

This was one of the first Brain Pickings posts I ever came across.  JSF took his favorite novel, cut out pieces of the text from the pages themselves, and consequently created a completely new story through the act of removal--creation through subtraction.  As Brain Picker comments, "The result is a beautiful blend of sculpture and storytelling, adding a layer of physicality to the reading experience in a way that completely reshapes your relationship with text and the printed page."
