    Not a purchase actually, but picked up on a give-away shelf at an office where I work sometimes: A review copy of Love and Consequences, by Margaret B. Jones. Yes, the one written by con artist Peggy Seltzer.

    Taras Grescoe - Bottomfeeder: How to Eat Ethically in a World of Vanishing Seafood

    With this kind of book, I like to cut to the practical part. I get it about overfishing, bycatches, and polluted ponds; but I want to know what I as a consumer can do about it. To save the purchase price or a trip to the library, I tried to use the preview feature at Amazon, but the...

    Isaac Asimov: The Last Question

    The link doesn't work for me, but I've read this story before. Asimov wrote an awful lot of great things (I liked The End of Eternity in particular), but this piece is his best, IMHO.

    Ok, I think I'm developing a bad habit. Yesterday on my walk to the subway, I had the same urge, but this time it was for The Importance of Being Earnest. So I stopped off and bought a cheap copy (Dover) and laughed on the subway all the way home.

    King Lear. Talked about it briefly yesterday at work, so it was on my mind. On the walk to the subway, I had an urge to read certain passages right then. I stopped and picked up a paperback copy (though I have several fancy editions of Shakespeare at home), then I was reading it on the...

    What magazines do you subscribe to?

    I’m all about RSS feeds. I get hundreds. Atlantic is one of them, though Time and Newsweek are not. I don’t pay for any online subscriptions, though. Whatever the magazine puts online for free just has to do. One magazine we get is Ranger Rick. My 17-year-old niece still loves it but has...
