Longreads

I read a lot of articles on the internet. I particularly enjoy longreads, or longform journalism. According to wikipedia, we're talking about "longer articles with larger amounts of content" - between 1,000 and 20,000 words. According to me, we're talking about any story I find interesting that's on the internet.

I use Pocket to hold on to and read articles. The ones listed below are those I've "favorited" through the app with the most recently read at the beginning.

If you're looking for a good read, I'd reccommend any of the ones below. I'd also reccommend all of the following email newsletters: Longreads, Longform, and the Sunday long read.
