Interesting Online Reading

Anyone read anything good online? Anything really. Looking for stuff to read during down time at work.

i personally like Cracked.com

io9 always has interesting stuff.

The Gutenburg project has 1000s of books.

theoatmeal.com

edit: also, any comic book on wikipedia

I’m dumbfounded that anyone has to ask about interesting stuff to read on the internet. The entire WORLD is on here! My struggle is to pull myself away from all the interesting things.

Thanks for the suggestions. However, I meant more specific articles. This was mentioned in another thread and gave me the idea.

thebiglead.com and deadspin.com are always good for short time-killers, like needing a 5-10 minute break to read something funny or sportsy.

If you want more in-depth reading, IDK.
