Since I’m now older than Methuselah’s guest towels, it seems only reasonable that one of the highlights of my week is Sunday morning when I get to drink coffee and pore over my newspapers. Every Sunday I get the NY Times and the AJC, and I completely dig the sensory experience of going outside in the morning, fishing the papers out of their bags, and going through each section.

I always start with the NY Times, usually with the Week in Review section. I love the Metropolitan Diary, the business section, the arts, and the A section. I save my favorite sections, the Book Review and the magazine, for the last. I usually only read the middle part of the style section and only flip through the sports because they’re almost always too football-focused for me.

The AJC is generally a thinner read, since so much of the content is from the wires or from NYT or WaPo. I always read the comics, of course, and like to read the regional news and opinion pages there as well. It’s annoying that they don’t cover the Braves in the delivered paper very thoroughly (presumably the home delivery edition closes too early for most games), but the Web site does a more comprehensive job.

Gotta support the local paper, or there one day might not be one at all.
