Hi, Hubbubers. I’m going off the grid for the rest of the week. (Call it an Internet sabbath.)

Because the Internet doesn’t go on vacation, I’ve left a few blog posts “in the can.” Things will be a little less newsy around here — but if something extraordinary happens, you can bet Hubbub will be right on top of it. What to expect this week:

  • A breakup letter to Brookline
  • An explainer on flying cars
  • Statistical evidence of Boston’s awesomeness
  • And more!

Now, then, what should I read? I’m loading up the iPad. On Point has a great list from three bookworms. Here & Now recently asked readers for their picks; see that comment thread.

Got any good suggestions for me? Leave a comment. I’m thinking of picking up the digital edition of Nicholas Carr’s “The Shallows” for maximum irony.
