The articles were interesting, but I just hated writing 1000000 essays on them.

A well-chosen collection of essays from 10-15 years ago. I read it for its historical interest and expected it to be outdated at this point, but found that it was mostly relevant to today's issues as well. Things really didn't change that much in the past decade...
