Due to online buying frenzies, I now have too much reading material queued up every month. Besides my “planning to read” queue, I now have 5 magazine subscriptions each month. Well one of those (the acm crossroads) is an extra magazine they throw in for free while subscribing to the CACM as a student (it is cheaper, ok). I like to read offline materials, while it is less selective, and it thereby strengthens the ability to be a specialized generalist. This reason is just a minor addition to the fact that reading paper based material, while lying on the couch sipping coffee just is damn relaxing.
