One of my guilty pleasures is reading.
I find myself constantly challenging my own perspective by seeking out new ideas, different approaches, and contrary opinions.
At least that is what I tell myself as I skim through vast quantities of blog posts, media articles and academic journals on topics like economics, personal finance, science, technology, and history.
Many bloggers maintain a static blog roll of their favourite writers. The approach I prefer is to present a running log of well written or interesting content I have recently consumed and thought worth sharing.
Interested readers can join me on my quest for knowledge, learning from content I have recently enjoyed.
Enjoy!
