The Sun
My father got me a subscription to The Sun, an interesting magazine which reminds me in some ways of Harpers or The New Yorker. The writing inside seems serious, interesting, and careful, and reminds me of Wendell Berry and other writers who might be mentioned in the same breath.
At this point, I'm used to reading mainly advocacy, headline news, editorial, academic papers, and, of course, techne. So it's surprising (a nice surprise) to be reminded that there is such a thing as an essay.
Plus, the current issue of The Sun contains a photograph (uncaptioned) which I recognize as the bike path bridge across the Connecticut River between Northampton and Amherst, so it makes me nostalgic. (The magazine isn't even published in New England, yet still it has pictures of my home town!)
