I sometimes dream of living in New York and getting to make use of the stuff in the front -- or of living here and jetting up every few weeks to at least go to the theater. I'm going to have to disagree with you about James Surowieki. I like reading Gladwell -- he's got this easy flowing style that makes things go easy -- but Surowieki covers a wide range of economic topics quite nicely. Really challenging stuff, and he makes the ideas clear without dumbing anything down. I like him. The fiction editing is nowhere near what it used to be though. That's kind of funny, because I started reading the New Yorker primarily for the fiction. Now I sometimes skip it altogether. Have you seen Daniel Radosh's blog? (http://www.radosh.net/) He does a parody of the Caption Contest every week. Good stuff. I love my New Yorker subscription too.
