I guess you just can't curl up with a laptop, or hold it over your head when your arms start to cramp from reading so long. Not to mention it's better on your eyes long term.

Just like your Baltimore Sun experience, I've had the same thing happen with my local paper, the Altoona Mirror. Although the Mirror has never been very good (they typically have editorials by Bill O'Reilly in them, and definitely only show one side of an issue), for many years I habitually read it while eating breakfast. In fact, my parents once forbid me from reading the paper during breakfast because it kept me from starting school (one of the perks of hokmeschooling haha). However, last year the Mirror reached an all-time low. It just plain stunk. My parents stopped getting it when I left for Dickinson, and now they get it from some friends after they're done with it. I haven't suffered much withdrawal from it though, since I've become accustomed to checking a variety of online sources, and reading the NY Times at school. :)<br /><br />Speaking of that, I'm planning on getting a semester's worth of the NY Times once I get back on campus. $33 for a paper every weekday. We can share them if we each pay half. :)mattmichrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17427496222519161143noreply@blogger.com
