Do you need a boost of inspiration for the new year?
We’ve compiled a list of five videos featuring writers who have given TED talks throughout the past year. Our list includes StoryCorps founder Dave Isay, biographer Aimee Molloy, book designer Chip Kidd, blogger Ann Morgan, and Newbery Medalist Linda Sue Park.
For more talks, the TED organization has created the “10 talks from authors” playlist. Who do you nominate to speak at future TED conferences?

How often do you read a book translated from another language? Ann Morgan delivered a talk at the TEDGlobal>London conference to talk about her “year reading a book from every country in the world.”
Morgan discussed the origins of this challenge, all the issues she encountered, and the community that came together to help her complete it. The video embedded above features her entire talk.
At the end of 2012, Morgan was able to find and read books from 196 countries. Follow this link to check out some interactive maps that showcase Morgan’s reading list.
