 Posted: 09/04/03 - 16:46 Post subject: poll not poll: the newspaper
What parts do you read?
I don't subscribe so I either read it online or at my parents house. But for some reason I always read the weddings. Half to look for people I know (sigh), and now that I live in Texas, the land of the belles  I read it more for some quality entertainment.
Oh, and the jumble.
you? obits? op/ed?

Sports first...
If anything interesting strikes me on the front page I'll read that.
Also the funnies, and Dave Barry, if he's in that issue. (Tuesdays)

Oh and I read Ken Hoffman on Tues and Thurs, local columnist who is friggin' hilarious and rides the MS 150.
My office is a little too much like Dilbert, so I read that everyday like my horoscope, because it almost always pertains to something thats brewing around here.

I HATE funerals and such but for some reason I like to read the obits. They are like mini-biographies.

Get the paper everyday, and love having my coffee and reading each every morning, read most of it, always check the obituaries, read my horoscope and read dilbert as well. Feel lost if my routine is upset on a morning.

Style/Art/Living section and/or Sports (both get read, but it varies which comes first)
Front Page
Local Section - in the LA Times it's called "California"
If I am really terribly bored I will read part of the Business section.
By then my hands are dirty and my coffee is done so I don't read any more.

when i read the newspaper....arts/entertainment/variety (the one with the books and movies).
I skim the sports and check to see that the Mets are still 28 games back. I may read the Front Page/World News section.
Otherwise, i get Time Magazine once a week and try to read that cover to cover. Try. I'd like to get the Economist, but that's a whole nother post.
