My husband takes over an hour to eat his drat salad at brunch so I need some reading material. Like some nibbling deer you lead off to pasture?

Man, one thing I don't miss about the more literate past is newspapers. So big, so loud, so messy. On the subway they're probably 80% of the trash.

Wendigee posted:I liked reading news papers when lived with my parents growing up but I'm not going to pay to receive it these days especially when I half of it or more is stuff I would just toss in the trash. I LOVE my local paper, but as a website. I pay for it. And I loved them as a newspaper back in the day, but in retrospect it was so loud. And messy.

People are used to paying for the news. There used to be these "news boxes" where you'd put in "Hard Currency" and it would open. You'd take out that day's "Newspaper". Which was created anew each day. And in the old days, several times a day.
