What Do You Read?

I'm constantly reading. I read the Baltimore Examiner everyday when I get home from work. I also read the local papers - The Eldersburg Eagle, The Advocate, The Gazette. We used to read The Sun, but you know how that is. They don't like anyone who's right of the far left - that includes the 99% of the people in the middle.

I am always reading a book. Right now I am reading P.J. O'Rourke's book - P.J. O'Rourke on A Wealth of Nations. He's a libertarian and he's really funny. Check out some of his other books. I mean, how can a book titled like this not be funny: All the Trouble in the World: The Lighter Side of Overpopulation, Famine, Ecological Disaster, Ethnic Hatred, Plague, and Poverty .

My next book will probably be 1984, at least that was the plan. I'll have the current book read by this weekend. But my 1984 book is 2nd in the queue at the library, so I may have to find another quick book to read. Perhaps something by Hemmingway or Steinbeck. They read fast.

Since I work in technology, I try to stay up on what's new in the IT world. Here are some of my favorite websites:

http://www.eweek.com/
http://www.informationweek.com/
http://www.pcworld.com/

And I'm a news junkie. I cannot live without these sites:

http://www.wbal.com/
http://www.wbaltv.com/
http://www.cnn.com/
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
http://www.washingtontimes.com/
http://www.news.google.com/ - and you can put in your favorite topics

And I have to check out the stories linked by Ron Smith everyday:

For my political fix, I check out these regularly:

http://www.gazette.net/politics/ - read Blair Lee of the Montgomery Gazette. And for kicks, read Barry Roscovar. He's in Martin O'Malley's pocket and thinks our clown governor can do no wrong. It's definitely a good laugh.

Definitely check out Ben Stein. You know the guy from The Wonder Years and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. He's actually really smart and really funny.

And another favorite is Walter Williams. He hates the NAACP and doesn't seem to care too much for Jesse and Al. Only thing is, Mr. Williams is black, or African-American if you're politically correct.
