My response is usually that "I read that...um...somewhere...?"<br /><br />Also, three of your fiction books have been on my to-read list and they are not yet read. And so was one of your non-fiction books. I should seriously avoid looking at anything that lists books.<br /><br />It only and inevitably leads to me acquiring more books...Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232286196928844543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26637694.post-41471596217991976152011-02-26T20:37:44.475-08:002011-02-26T20:37:44.475-08:00Your new goal should be to listen to NPR constantl...Your new goal should be to listen to NPR constantly so you can have a variation on the "I read an article in the New Yorker" theme: "I heard on NPR."Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528178130475679570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26637694.post-10881547464966584382011-02-26T13:17:07.078-08:002011-02-26T13:17:07.078-08:00So, your goal for 2011 should be to read more Shri...So, your goal for 2011 should be to read more Shriver and let me know if anything else she wrote is worth it?

Then I thought maybe you meant you just read all the articles from 2010. Which is impressive but not nearly so much so.<br /><br />Which was it?Th.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16460795570237872290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26637694.post-11778444461727749922011-02-24T14:32:14.144-08:002011-02-24T14:32:14.144-08:00@Katya--

One of the marks of very good journalism, I'd say. <br /><br />@Claire--<br /><br />I'm glad, since I was kicking myself for waiting until the end of February...<br /><br />@Heidi--<br /><br />Please do! I've enjoyed recommendations from you, so I'm glad to return the favor:)<br /><br />@Jennifer--<br /><br />I think I set up an account once, but I've never used it. It just seems like yet another thing, you know?Petrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15454911336796743360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26637694.post-72738193210190674482011-02-24T12:09:58.997-08:002011-02-24T12:09:58.997-08:00I shall have to add those to my to-read list.

The oldest issues are about 5 years old, so some of the stuff in them isn't really relevant, any more, but a lot of it still is. I just finished an article about movie marketing that was pretty interesting.Katyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771780464356547742noreply@blogger.com
