In the New Yorker...
Jeff Wrangler:
I've never been this far (four issues) behind. I've become a lot more selective in the articles that I'm reading--fewer "duty articles." If an article doesn't grab me right from the start, I stop reading it.
Front-Ranger:
I do something similar. I was reading the article about free will yesterday and I decided to prove that free will exists by stopping. Take that, you compatibilist philosophers!! :laugh:
serious crayons:
I also try to eliminate any from the previous presidential administration. Unfortunately with New Yorkers, though, that still requires steely self-control because obviously most stories are not related to national politics. But maybe you just don't want any reminders of those bleak years?

That's definitely it.
Jeff Wrangler:
The things you learn when you read TNY over lunch:
Barry Manilow wrote the jingles for State Farm ("Like a good neighbor ...") and Band-Aids ("I am stuck on Band-Aids ...").
Who knew? Not me, that's for sure!
