When I have a lot of work to do that I put off because I woke up with a headache again and put myself back to bed on three ibuprofen pills and a cold cloth to the forehead, when I eventually wake up and have a coffee, usually deep into the afternoon, I like to read The Marginalian. It might be the only blog in the world that’s done right.
It’s run by an incredibly well-read person who has a gift of both excerpting salient concepts from a wide variety of literature and connecting these notions together. She almost disappears into the work but once you read enough of it you get a good head on who she is by what she has read.
I highly suggest following, subscribing, or just binging the hell out the website.
