I try to take a little time in the day to sit down with a cup of tea and read. I might choose a book from my current eclectic stack, or perhaps the most recent copy of The Atlantic magazine, or I might spend a half an hour or so catching up at the blogs or websites of kindred spirits.  In the sidebar to the left are some of my favorite places in the webby world, and below is a photo of my books in my Autumn pile.
