Idle Words

Just a quick one today as I am off out momentarily to drown a year's worth of sorrows. Before I go, I must implore you, dear reader, to take some time and visit idlewords.com, the blog of Maciej Cegłowski, whose name I cannot even come close to pronouncing.

His writing style is truly impeccable, and an absolute joy to read. I have devoured a slew of his posts on topics I wouldn't have considered myself the slightest bit interested in, simply because of how enjoyable it is to consume his words. Despite his Polish name suggesting otherwise, his immigration to the United States aged only 6 years old means his grasp of the English language is superior to any other individual I can think of. Go. Read it. Now. Throw away your 'classic' literature, because Cegłowski writes your canon now.

My favourites are Gluten Free Antarctica, Dating without Kundera and The Alameda-Weehawken Burrito Tunnel. Enjoy :-)
