The Economist

I realize that I haven't been posting as much lately. Mostly because I haven't finished that many books recently. There are a couple of reasons for this: One, I'm in graduate school and have tons to read already. The second reason is a more recent development: Since December, I've been subscribing to The Economist magazine.

Awhile ago, I decided that I wanted to get my world and US news from a non-US source. The Economist, published in London, is a very dense, no-nonsense news magazine. The print is small and the pictures are few. It's pretty much like reading a book on current events every week and I have to keep on top of it in order to finish each issue before the new one arrives in Friday's mail.

So, I have been reading, just not as much fiction. I am waiting for my sister to chastise me. Alas! Three more weeks until summer vacation.
