FIVE SUMMER STORIES

I have been receiving The Times for about five years. At first it took me several hours to read the magazine. However, recently I have been able to finish in under 30 minutes; the reason is the greater amount of human interest stories. We don’t want to know about some local resident’s life or career. Many of us enjoyed reading about cars, landscaping, wines, cuisine and restaurants.

I found the July 2 issue to be the most boring of all. It contained five short stories that bored me so that I flipped through the magazine in minutes and tossed it down.
