megaleena left a comment a few days ago on a post where I talked about my obsessive-compulsive reading list, suggesting it would be interesting if I shared it. Easily enough done!

So, between email, work, and writing, this is what I read daily.

"News" feeds:
Serious Eats (just the top page)
Kempt
The Lulu Blog, though I'm thinking of taking this one down to Mondays-only reading
BoingBoing (again, top page only or until I get tired of scrolling)
Futility Closet (I ignore the math)
Myths Retold
Free Things To Do In Chicago

Fannish stuff:
My LJ and DW friendslists
Geek Crafts
wcnewsletter, the White Collar daily newsletter
Twitter (Sometimes.)
My non-fannish Facebook (the only way R communicates anymore, I swear to god)
Delicious -- I have a Delicious slush file that has basically four categories: Deal with this, Archive this, Books to read, Origami websites. I also have a Delicious subscription to some fannish tags, so I always check that.

And finally, THE EARTH.

I didn't realise I have no webcomics on my reading list anymore. I sort of fall in and out of love with webcomics, so whatever. (Please don't suggest any :D )

For bonus points, this is my Monday additional reading list.

Career stuff:
Nonprofity, "our" Claire's professional website
The 99%, a very mixed bag
Alltop Career News
Leave It At The Reception Desk
Publisher's Weekly
The Self Publishing Review

Hobbies:
Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation Blog
The Daily Coyote
Origamiancy and Origami Spirit
Urban Ghosts
The Incarcerated inkwell

Entertainment:
Racked Chicago
Siskel Film Centre
Upcoming Movies
TV By The Numbers

Man. Reading it all laid out like that, I do kind of look like a politically apathetic dilettante, don't I?

I also read Chicago Magazine and The New Yorker, and the Monday edition of the Chicago Sun-Times, though I don't know if those are exactly points in my favour.

Gaaaaaah, Facebook. Half my friends have started communicating only through that damn thing, and it never fails to annoy me.

Serious Eats seriously takes up more of my feed reader than anything else, even the really prolific book blogs and even CNN. They post more than friggin CNN. Yow.

They post like gangbusters. That's why I firmly limit myself to the top page. :D

I skim through a lot of it - I don't have TV, so the TV posts are sort of pointless for me - but then I slow down and wind up reading all sorts of weird things about slaughtering pigs.
