Arts & Letters Daily – ideas, criticism, debate
This has now become my start page. One new article daily, in each of three categories (roughly: commentaries on current news, new books, and essays of a wider cultural scope). Just enough to keep the live and thinking person in me well fed and nourished for the rest of the day.
If that should not be enough, a fourth column contains links, to news sites, to book reviews, a selection of good blogs, and towards the bottom of the (long!) page, even some diversions – cartoons, a game of blackjack, Letterman jokes, stuff like that.
