Partially to increase my literary skills, and partially to help me notice more around me as I consume entertainment. A&LDaily New Book reviews in particular. I read a lot more book, film, and game reviews than I read, watch, or play. Longform and Longreads are great ways to find more magazine like researched stories, instead of daily infotainment style "news."
