I very rarely read newspapers for news as I found them anxiety producing. On the other had, I often glance at the comics or the Suduko puzzle in our break room newspaper while heating my lunch. Just today, I read Dilbert and Hagar the Horrible and Beetle Baily.
People leave them in the breakroom from time to time, so I might read them there. But i have gotten spoiled by the immediacy of breaking news via internet.
Crossword addict. Only real papers and real ink satisfies.
Read several a week as a result.
*Always* buy a local paper, if any, getting gas on road trips. Serious Jones for smalltown police blotters ... another fav genre, like classically styled boxing features in the sports pages, I'll suss until they die out entirely.
Over the weekend when I visit my mother. God bless the older generation, they still read books, newspapers, and can hold their attention longer than a border collie. My generation and younger, not so much.
Philly - No way no Google! I think dictionaries are cheating and must use ink, otherwise the hands get too dirty. I have been doing them since I was 14. Only child in a treehouse syndrome. When you do them for years you get all the clues. It's like a secret society or something.
Momo & Philly-- Will Shortz is a king, lol!😍 I love all Sundays (agree, no googling), can usually do thru Thursday, but can rarely complete Fri or Sat.
Unabashed hope to get a crossword published one day!☺
