I read and watch a lot of stuff on the Internet that I find interesting; plus, as a university student, I receive a lot of recommendations from students and teachers alike. In these posts, I share a few of the highlights I’ve come across.

  1. In celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s 90th birthday today, christianaudio.com is offering a free audiobook download of his Letter from Birmingham Jail for a couple of days only. All you need is an email address.

  2. The Washington Post has an article about Tyndale House ceasing publication of one of its heaven-tour-guide books, The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven. Apparently, the titular boy has been objecting to the book and denying its veracity for years.

  3. Cracked.com is a comedy site, but this particular article is quite insightful, in my opinion, and does a great job discussing the trouble with the way we react to attacks.

I read a lot of stuff on the Internet that I find interesting. In these posts, I share a few of the highlights I’ve come across.

  1. The Chicago Tribune has written about the troubles surrounding red-light cameras in Chicago.

  2. The biopic Selma had to paraphrase Martin Luther King Jr.’s speeches due to copyright restrictions. This is not the first time The Kokiri Reader has discussed the results of stringent copyright restrictions on the historical examination of the civil rights leader (even though I only have about a dozen posts so far).

  3. One reader/contributor of Cracked.com sent in 19 examples of modern-day sexism in pop culture.

See you in the New Year!
