The great thing about the Intertubes is that there’s no shortage of reading material. Newspapers and magazines put up their archives for us to purse through – FOR FREE. Hopefully, this trend will continue for a long time.
I’ve been going through some of the stuff in Esquire, and there are a couple of amazing profiles that you should definitely read – one is on inventor extraordinaire and possible crazy person Dean Kamen (he created the Segway, among other things) and how he might save the world; the other is on film critic Roger Ebert and the aftereffects of his life-changing cancer surgery. Both are fascinating reads that will not only give you something intelligent to talk about around the water cooler, but give great insight into the human condition.
