Quotidiana



I want to recommend a great resource for you.

Quotidiana.org features public domain essays from many writers who are important in the essay tradition.

I'm trying to read one essay a day (most of them are very short), and I encourage you to join me.

I'm starting with Joseph Addison, who nicely describes a certain kind of friend as follows:

“I was last night visited by a friend of mine, who has an inexhaustible fund of discourse, and never fails to entertain his company with a variety of thoughts and hints that are altogether new and uncommon.”

I hope we all have people like this in our lives.
