jimray just provided me with one of those falling-in-love-with-the-internet-all-over-agagin moments:
“Two recommendations for you. First, install the InstapaperIt browser extension, which will let you add any link to Instapaper with a simple right or option click.
Next, head over to Kevin Kelly’s excellent collection of best magazine articles ever and queue them all up.
May you never find yourself wanting for something interesting to read.”
lots and lots (and lots!) of quality writing in that list. among others:
- “superman comes to the supermarket” - norman mailers debut as literary journalist and one of the first examples of the emerging genre.
- “the kentucky derby is decadent and depraved” - hunter s. thompson’s prequel to fear & loathing. pay attention to the can of maze…
- “pearls before breakfast” - by the always excellent gene weingarten, in which one of the worlds best violinists takes his stradivari and performs for 43 minutes in rush hour at a washington d.c. metro station.
if you need me, you can find me in bed with my ipad and instapaper app for the duration of the day.
