In the past couple of weeks, I’ve found some blogs I really love and try to read on a daily basis.  Here they are–try them out yourself.

Corpus Obscura: Remembering Those Whose Accomplishments Vastly Exceeded Their Fame.  Short obituaries for people who contributed to the culture but never got famous for it.  For example, today they have a piece on one of the last Navajo code talkers.  Another recent one was on the guy who played the tuba for the Jaws theme.

Iraq Blog Count keeps track of bloggers writing from various locations in Iraq.  They cover a panoply of Iraqi society, from teenagers to professors.  The small pictures of daily life in a war zone are always illuminating and occasionally hearbreaking.

3quarksdaily is neat, too.  On Mondays, they run something called “Monday Musings,” in which one of their wonderful writers addresses some topic related to the arts or sciences.  You never know what you’ll get.  The rest of the time, they operate as a filter blog (a blog that collects bits of news and information and aggregates it for a readership).
