Friday Reads: Stuff I Read That I Liked This Week

14 Sep

Around the internet:

Edith Zimmerman on Joseph Kennedy III (The New York Times): From this weekend’s Magazine.

“A Teenager Tries to Make the Best of Hosting Her Middle-Ages Party at the Same Time as Her Older Brother’s Lacrosse Team’s Kegger” (McSweeney’s)

“After the End of Men” (The Awl): What happens when men disappear.

Michael Lewis on Barack Obama (Vanity Fair): Probably the best Obama profile I’ve read…maybe ever?

“Is This Book Bad, or Is It Just Me? The Anatomy of Book Reviews” (The Millions)

“The City That Pays For College” (The New York Times): Another New York Times Magazine article. This one’s about the city of Kalamazoo, MI’s Promise program.

“The Land That Time and Money Forgot” (New York Magazine): Mark Jacobson writes about the current state of the New York City Housing Authority. (Actually, I read this one in print but it’s available online.)

Books:

- Best European Fiction 2012 ed. by Aleksander Hemon: I’m probably 2/3 of the way done with the short stories in here and I’ll definitely write more about this later.

        I think Todds tweets show us that he is very imtoaprnt to himself : End of StoryIf I was struggling and financially hurting and read those tweets in the search for hope what would I find: SelfIf I was rich and could afford all the good things of life and read those tweets what would I find: Money talks !If I was Jesus where would you find me: Walking between both rich and poor and saying: neither rich or poor is of my doing its of yours Money: There is plenty to go round even in this recession: I am beginning to think we just like to see each other suffer because it makes our loss less so. We strip each others life lines and then expect someone to take up ours To have hope needs the prescence of lack otherwise why would you need hope! I knew someone once who created chaos, confusion,and grief in order that he could then turn the tables into hope, come out as a hero, restore order and thereby bathe in its glory: Substance and value will be lost in the tweets of life unless we get substance and value ourselves and rise above the twitter.

        This is so beautiful Hannah. You know I’m tllotay on the same page! I love that passage in Romans. Even though I have realized these things, I still fall back into worshiping my other idols day after day. It’s such a battle! But God! I’m glad He helps us in our weakness! I’m so happy to know you! Your heart is beautiful!
