Lately, I've been catching up on a couple months' worth of The New Yorker magazine, which I'd let slide over the busy, sunny days of summer. Now that I have lots of time on my hands, I'm slipping back into the issues like a comfortable bubble bath. I'm missed my reading.

The one problem is, there are all these articles I want to blog about, but most of them are not included in the online edition. (Which makes perfect sense. They do want people to buy the print edition after all.) I know that I can still write about the things that I read, but somehow it just doesn't seem as bloggy if I can't point people to what I read. (Alright, class, open your texts to page 33 and begin reading at the second paragraph...)

Still, I wouldn't trade my lovely printed magazines for one that was solely online. (Sorry, Salon.) I like to carry them with me, roll them up in my bookbag, and read on the go. I also like to *not* stare at a glowing screen from time to time.

Long live print!
