David Sedaris got addicted to FitBit and wrote about it for the New Yorker. I'm not sure what more background information you need to want to read this...
Flavorwire gave a run-down of 2014's best fiction thus far. Some of their picks are surprising, as are some of the titles they left off, but I love them for their book coverage, and it's worth checking out as always.
The Atlantic has an excellent piece on Lydia Davis that includes her own commentary on some early stories. I love her work and I'm still trudging my way through the Collected Stories of Lydia Davis, and her recently published volume is very much on my radar. I'm also happy to report that I got my mom into Lydia Davis as well, so I'm doing my part.
