Whether or not you hit the open road for Memorial Day weekend — and that's Route 66 through the Sandia Mountains in New Mexico on the above linen postcard — you'll probably find yourself needing something to read at some point. As always, Papergreat has you covered with a wide range of interesting articles to expand your mind, tickle your fancy (which is still legal in 16 states) and/or prepare you for the next night of bar trivia. Without further ado...
