Words Galore!!

I love long-form articles. Pieces that run over multiple pages, ones that show the journalist has put in the grunt work. I love to think that he has agonized over finding the right words, the right tone and fought to maintain consistency over the entire piece. I can even forgive opinion(ated) pieces if the clarity of the author's conviction manages to shine through. And I am happy knowing that people do have something to say beyond the 140 character blurbs that dominate news cycles. And most importantly I adore the fact that it makes me want to write. Today I managed to stumble upon a treasure trove of such material. I happened to hear about Instapaper and stumbled over to their website, the aptly named givemesomethingtoread.com. They maintain an archive of Editor's Picks of writing from across the web, which for the most part is absolutely great writing. Just spent half a day at work of all places reading through some of them. Do head over and give it a try. I promise you won't be disappointed. For those with ADD and those who believe it's not worth your while, there is always the next tweet from Kanye West to look forward to!!
