reading recommendations - sites for articles etc.

hey,

I was wondering if people could provide me with links to decent online journals, magazines etc. I'm not too fussy -- the thing is, I don't really like to commit to books (because my cognition varies so much on a day-to-day basis), but a lot of the online reading I end up doing is too mealy and unsatisfying. I prefer long-form stuff I can print out and read in bed, which also gives me a good gauge of my attention span.

Right now, I'm pretty much just restricted to whatever's available on the New Yorker or New York Time Magazine websites. I suppose some psychology stuff would be cool -- just nothing too dense or too 'pop'. I donno, I suppose the only stuff I'm not into is politics. I also like idea-based or critical pieces more than just straight journalism, though again, unfortunately, can't handle anything too dense at the moment.

Thanks!

New York Review of Books has free stuff every issue online, maybe London Review of Books. Some good writers. Might tend to get a bit political. Maybe something like Granta, but I have no idea if you can get it online.

Since you like to also read in bed are any of the Nooks providing online texts or papers? Phillipa
