New York Review of Books… and football!

I often listen to the Slate Culture Gabfest podcast, which each week features discussion on about three cultural topics, such as a new film or book, or an essay in the Slate or another magazine. Last week, one of the topics was a review in the New York Review of Books. As a result, I looked through the contents of the NYRB and found them very interesting. So I bought a short-term subscription and now I'm finding and saving lots of articles to read later.

The writing in the NYRB is very good, and often they feature long essays on 5 or 6 books on the same topic, so it is possible to find out about a lot of books from one essay.

In the Premier League, Manchester United and Manchester City both drew at the weekend. It's been a long time since neither of them won. Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle also drew, while Tottenham and Chelsea won. Tottenham are now in 3rd or 4th place.
