Reserved Reading

It's Thursday, and two issues of the New Yorker sit on my kitchen table...along with last Sunday's paper.  I have a hard time making myself read anything but light realistic (possibly romantic) fiction on a weeknight.  So this more non-fiction oriented literature remains on the table till lazy Sunday rolls around, when I settle in my chair (yes, the one I'm currently sharing with the grand-dog) and go through every section of the Sunday paper...saving the Comics for last.  With more coffee to fuel my brain, I hunker down again and dive into a New Yorker, flipping through the magazine to see which article I'm going to start with. I have made a deal with myself that I will finish every article that I start; not going to lie, some articles have been a slog.  But, I find I learn a lot - then I reward myself with the Crossword Puzzle.  Love a Sunday morning.

  1. Comics last?!? Comics should at least be in the middle as a reward for the slog! Hope you get time to get it all read!

  2. I just renewed my subscription to the New Yorker, and it now includes the weekly magazine. I stopped getting it for awhile because they would just pile up and I wouldn't read them except to grab one for a train ride. Now I plan to be more on top of it. Good idea to make a vow to finish the article you start.
