In the New Yorker...

I was just about to settle down with the new issue last night.I had barely looked through its table of contents. Then I remembered to go get the mail and what do I find but an even newer new issue! I can't keep up.

Thanks! :laugh: It's probably everybody's New Yorker world.
I wrote a column for the books page of the paper once about having way too much to read. I mentioned the many things on my computer, Kindle, bedside table, etc., as well as my New Yorker pile. The column invited readers to share their experiences with information overload. One wrote something reasonably friendly but she said she thought my mentioning the New Yorker was snooty.
I can see her point. I've been annoyed, at times, by a friend who sometimes writes things like, "I was reading the New Yorker when there was a knock on the door ... [goes into story that has nothing to do with the New Yorker.]"
But in this case, I wasn't including it to brag. I was including it because it comes every f'in week.

I realized this morning I did want to read that profile of Adam Driver. It seems at least I still have that issue.

Report back if you can figure out why he warranted such a long profile!
