I am very much a fan of the printed word. I've been thinking about it like this: Online, text delivers itself to you, almost always in short-form streams, everything is ephemeral. With a physical book, you have to bring yourself to the text. Language, dialog, form, typography all come together on the page in a way that is highly satisfying. The act of reading printed pages is an "event" of sorts.
Any magazine recommendations?
- ser13 6y agoI really enjoy both the Economist and the New Yorker. They tend to take very different stances on the same issues, but both have really excellent long-form articles that I enjoy. I also recommend hobby magazines (like Shutterbug or Adventure Kayak) that fit with your interests.
