A poor substitute

I'm finding my subscription to the premier English-Language weekly newspaper a poor substitute for actual intellectual vigour. I decided to shell out £50 quid to ease my un-ease at not doing my MSc after reading through some old essays. True, I'm more aware of world issues than I ever was from scanning the BBC website but its hard work to find the time in a week to read a whole edition before the next one falls through my letterbox!
