The FADER Weekend Reading List
The beauty of sleep, a museum of marine skeletons, and the neurotic grocery list.
The Neurotic Eater’s Grocery List
Nick Tabor and James D. Walsh, Grub Street

Also in food this week: Soylent is apparently healthier than the average North American diet, writes Jessa Gamble for The Atlantic. And Michelle Zauner, a.k.a. Japanese Breakfast, wrote How Learning to Cook Korean Food Helped Me Grieve (and Heal) for Cosmopolitan.
The Museum At The End Of The World
Madeline Bodin, Hakai Magazine
Natalie Goodall started a museum of her rare, extensive collection of marine animal skeletons in 1959. She set it up in Ushuaia, Argentina, the fin del mundo, and called it Museo Acatushún. In 1996, she received a gold medal from the Society of Women Geographers in 1996, which is an award only nineteen other woman have received (including Amelia Earhart, Margaret Mead, and Jane Goodall.) This is how she did it.

The Cure For Insomnia
Rubin Naiman, Aeon
"We are a society of energy addicts dependent on overly stimulating foods, fluids, information, entertainment and light at night," writes Naiman, in this convincing case for thinking of sleep as a personal practice, not a closely-monitored biological necessity.
