Give me something to read

Lists abound at the end of the year . . . b est films, books, games, apps . . . . One interesting list I stumbled upon in my rambles around the WWW is at Give Me Something to Read and is a list of interesting articles chosen as this year's highlights. Give Me Something To Read describes itself as "A hand-picked selection of the finest articles and essays saved with Instapaper."

Most Useful Links for Reference, News & More.

What page or pages do you tend to go back to time and again? What are the most valuable sources of info for you? What have you chosen for your home page? While there is a Google Top 1000 most visited sites list, I'd like to hear from you, even as I share one of my old time reference sources. The Reference Desk has links for just about everywhere I choose to go. Really. Between The Reference Desk and Arts & Letters Daily, I'm in pretty good shape and my brain has more than it can process. Look at a few links students will appreciate. Yep, you can bookmark them yourself with Diigo, Delicious or Google, but sometimes it is easier for me to just go back to The Reference Desk, just like in a library. Style & Writing Guides APA Style Citing Your Sources Common Errors in English Commonly Confused Words Elements of Style OWL Online Writing Lab Resources for Writers Mums and dads will appreciate a few of these.
