Caving

I have never received a paper newspaper in my life, except for a mystery three months when I lived with Katie in which we got the Times every day. It wasn’t long after I moved to the city, and I have happy memories of pilfering the Arts section and reading it with coffee on Saturdays. I felt very urbane, and I suppose that technically is.

But now I read the Arts section obsessively, if online, and my recent subscription to Audible came with six months of the New York Times hour-long audio daily digest. So I started listening and realized, man, I love that newspaper.

So after some careful consideration, and the discovery of a 60-percent-off discount because I’m a student, I subscribed to the Saturday & Sunday editions of the Times for home delivery, for the summer (and I’ll see if it’s worth it in the fall). And happily, it was very cheap. Because, frankly, cuddling up with a cup of coffee and my laptop on a Saturday morning just doesn’t cut it. And my newish-and-not-yet-announced ventures are making me feel a need to be up on what is going on in the ever-so-broad world of Culture And The Arts.

To be honest, I’m really excited.

    I used to subscribe to the Sunday Times, then I stopped. But I miss it. I’m wondering if I should cave, too.

    I love the NYTimes student discount. It doesn’t feel like Sunday unless I can spread the paper across my kitchen table and read it while drinking rooibos tea.
