Quora is a great website to read. I participate a lot on it too, depending on whether I have project deadlines or finals coming up. I also impulsively refresh Google News sometimes...

How can we get an invitation ? I can't even vote.

Any quora user can sent it (the invitation) to your email. If you are interested, I can do that.

I physically subscribe to Harper's Magazine (http://harpers.org) and the New York Review of Books (http://nybooks.com).

I use Google Reader, through which I have 222 subscriptions and have read 11,321 items in 30 days; I mostly skim through most summaries and articles and read maybe 1 in 20-50. I bookmark particularly interesting articles in my Delicious account and then try to re-read them within a week to see if I a) still find them interesting, and b) whether new perspectives and thoughts crop up about the themes of the article.

If you're curious you can get the OPML export of my Google Reader subscriptions here: https://gist.github.com/970230

My daily reading routine is:

- Guardian's international articles (guardian.co.uk/world)

- International Herald Tribune (iht.com)

- Techmeme (techmeme.com)

- Skim the first page of HN

- Skim the newest articles on Metafilter and AskMefi.

- Flick through all my Google Reader items throughout the day.

You don't explcitly mention this but I also voraciously read books, at a rate of about two every month. Right now I'm going through a serious counterinsurgency phase.

Zite on the iPad is absolutely amazing. It's a dynamic newspaper/daily magazine with the cobtent you are intersted in. It somehow always finds the best new content relevant to me with stunning accuracy.

Most of the stuff I really love in HN also appear in my Zite-magazine
