You have 15 minutes to wait for your train not 25, you have a half hour on that train not 35 minutes. But you want something to occupy your time, that you won’t be forced to put down without finishing?
Longreads, an aggregator of great long-form writing that offers keyword search and a time/word count filter for your time-pressed reading.
To set yourself up properly you’ll want to be following Longreads on Twitter or via their RSS feed (and ideally you’ll have something Wi-fi or 3G access) you can find articles on anything in 15, 30, 45 or hour plus segments. Pulling from magazines, newspapers, longer blogs, and others web spaces, you can find fantastic links when you search.
Longreads is the perfect solution to short term reading but if you can find the time to get in the hour plus pieces, lucky for you.
Sounds cool, must give it a look.
