A read-it-later service lets you save web pages and blog posts to a personal online repository so you can read them later, when you have the time. I’ve said this before. This type of service is valuable to me, because it lets me create my own little pond of information from the vast ocean that is the internet.https://georgesupreeth.com/web/blog/blog_geo_250818_wallabag_for_reading_things_later/Thu, 09 Jan 2025 12:25:02 +0530https://georgesupreeth.com/web/blog/blog_geo_250818_wallabag_for_reading_things_later/When I was a child in Chennai, (Madras at the time) my parents used to leave me at the home of one Mr.Zacharaiah, who would baby sit me. I remember this ancient man, sitting in his easy chair, with piles of newspapers around him, cutting out articles and pasting them in huge scrapbooks. What these scrapbooks looked like. Source This was a thing people used to do back then. These scrap books were the successors of commonplace books from earlier times.https://georgesupreeth.com/web/blog/blog_geo_250818_finding_the_fiction_in_my_non-fiction_reading/Sun, 21 Nov 2021 12:25:01 +0530https://georgesupreeth.com/web/blog/blog_geo_250818_finding_the_fiction_in_my_non-fiction_reading/Up until a few years ago my reading diet consisted of non-fiction books and articles, largely in the areas of philosophy, popular science and business literature on startup trends. Reading fiction was a fairly sporadic activity, I mostly read action and urban-fantasy, of the Jim Butcher kind. Now the trend has completely reversed. I barely read non-fiction, preferring instead to look up book reviews and promotional articles by the author summing up the central thesis.
