I’m going to state right up top here that I’ve had this list in drafts for, like, three weeks while I waited for the time/inspiration to really write something substantial but let us face the fact that isn’t going to happen in the next 48 hours. Therefore, you get a sorta rough draft of some stuff and things that might keep you amused.
We have a physical subscription to the New Yorker, are months if not years behind and I sneak old copies into the recycling bin when my husband isn't looking. Every year I plead "we are not renewing the subscroption, right?" and yet is somehow finds a way into renewing itself. I think the credit card has self-acutalized.
I have stared down THE POWER BROKER on the library shelves more than once over the past few years and really really really want to believe that I will do it in 2024! I've got Caro's book of essays and read so much about him (just got the documentary for Xmas!) and am fascinated by his process and commitment.
Let's see if you are the one to finally push me over the edge!
Caro's The Power Broker is a fascinating tome, I read it back in college (taking the best course ever). For years now I say I'll reread it since I have maturity to better understand more of the nuance (I think).
Aah, the New Yorker pile up, I dropped my subscription years ago when we moved and I had to pack up a box of unread issues. Now the digital ones I borrow from the library face the same fate and expire unread. Most weekends I pick up (a friend's) NYT delivery and I'm now reading more of the paper (and the book reviews) than I was. Perhaps it's time for me to shift back to a physical subscription.
Very relatable to hear I am not the only one who can’t keep up with the New Yorker. I don’t want to cancel my subscription because it’s so good, but I am months behind!
