I mean, I know I SHOULD read the Seymour Hersh articles, but I get about a page and a half in and my eyes glaze over. Pretty much anything about Iraq or Afghanistan gets skipped, too. I always read Talk of the Town and Shouts and Murmurs (unless it's by Woody Allen. His are never, ever funny). Those are easy.SZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04423714835688952506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527429094219035263.post-79776951369957317232010-07-19T16:06:58.204-04:002010-07-19T16:06:58.204-04:00I pretty much read anything Malcolm Gladwell write...I pretty much read anything Malcolm Gladwell writes.

If it doesn't catch me then, it doesn't catch me and I'd be fine with passing it on to the library giveaway shelf. John, however, gets extremely anxious that he'll miss something and can't accept that once he gets down four or five weeks, it's effectively over and he should just give up and start over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527429094219035263.post-68602937659129419782010-07-19T12:20:02.644-04:002010-07-19T12:20:02.644-04:00My problem with the NYer is that I always seem to ...My problem with the NYer is that I always seem to MISS the ONE big article everyone else is talking about. For that reason, I save a backlog of magazines, and recycle them after a couple of months. That way, I can look it up if two or three people start referring to something I invariably missed.Hope Perlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599511890390199730noreply@blogger.com
