So, your day job is "reading RSS feeds"?

The only high volume ones are AskMetafilter and thesimpledollar. Right now I just skim the headlines/summaries and only look at the most interesting ones. I'm seriously considering dropping them though.

you should drop them.

Are you still finding I Will Teach You To Be Rich worth reading? I read it several years ago when it first started, but stopped when it turned into mostly fluffy articles and promotions of his ridiculous $800 program to make people more money. The spamminess of it kind of became a turn off.

I Agree, I read it when it first started, now it is totally spammy/scammy/sleazy. He is just preying on 'self help' types.

How did you produce such a well-formatted list? By hand, or do you have some kind of script?

I use Google Reader which allows you to export everything.

  1 - click "Manage subscriptions", bottom left of the reader
      which opens the "settings" page
  2 - click "Import/Export" 
  3 - click "Export your subscriptions as an OPML file"

Now you have a nice XML representation which you can massage inside your editor of choice.

When you're done, prepend 2 spaces to the start of each line so HN will treat it like code.

Excellent, thanks. I'll have to try that and see what kind of RSS mess I have.

I absolutely loved the first book in that series you're reading from, "The Shadow of the Lion", and would strongly recommend it to anyone who thinks the words "historical fantasy" could appeal to them.

Re:Ask HN: Apart from Hacker News, what else you read? by Sukotto on Friday May 13, 2011 @05:30PM (#2546267)

If you liked that series and want to check out some other good historical fiction, you might also like:

- the Belisarius series (starting with "An Oblique Approach") by Eric Flint and David Drake which is an alternate history / military science fiction series chronicling Belisarius' (one f the all time great Roman generals) war of survival against a being from our far future. My description doesn't really do it justice... it's a great read.

- the Ring of Fire series (starting with "1632"), also by Eric Flint, in which a small West Virgina mining town is suddenly moved to somewhere in Germany during the 30 Year's War. The first book is a little too pro-union for my taste, but it's still a good read. The series really blossoms a couple of books in when Flint opens things up into a shared universe and invites a lot of other authors to come and play
