Typewriters have been making a sort of comeback. Companies aren't once again cranking out the ol' clickity-clacks, but in certain pockets of America, a new generation of writers are discovering the typing machines. Hit up Etsy or a local swap meet and you'll find more and more people hawking restored typewriters. To aid this new wave of technological nostalgia, and to celebrate National Reading Day, we decided to look back at some of our favorite writers sitting down at their typewriters, doing what they did best.
