Every Friday, the PQ Weekly Roundup collects the most shared links in our social media network—bookish articles, reviews, quizzes, recommendations and more—in convenient digest form.

• It probably comes as no surprise that books have the power to change the world. Check out which books were particularly influential in this Granta post.
• Have you ever wanted to browse the library of a television character? One woman has put together an Instagram catalogue of all the book covers that appear in The Simpsons. Now that’s dedication!
• This new library in China looks like an optical illusion. I’m not actually sure how they managed to get this cascading structure to stand, but it certainly is something to look at!
• Speaking of pretty things, browse the illustrated books of Gerard Brender à Brandis. These beautiful collections of wood engravings would make great gifts.
• And because we all like to test our skills and keep our minds sharp, take a look at this quiz full of weird English words. Do you actually know what they mean? Test yourself!

That’s it for this week’s book links. Hope you learned something cool!

Have a great weekend,
