I try and read the newspaper daily. Usually a local paper (If you're from NYC area: I read the NY Daily News, although I used to read Newsday before the format change), during lunch/dinner. The newspaper is something (usually) with lots of topics to read on. Plus its cheap and I don't care about it, so if I spill liquid on it, its not the end of the world.<p>I like it. It lets me keep up to date with what the politicians in the area are doing (plus my Senators/Representative to Congress) in slightly more detail than a paragraph buried in a CNN article. Plus the sports section is entertaining (during baseball and football seasons, at least)
