“I should think…,” I began one day over breakfast.“Well, I would hope so, Watson,” replied Holmes laconically. – Arthur Conan Doyle
A meme of sorts but perhaps a better one than “Name five different ways you’ve eaten peanut butter…”
By nature, all good blogs should make you think. It’s why we read blogs. It’s why (some of us) write them. This little hobby of mine has recently been tagged as something called a “Thinking Blog” by both The Peking Duck and China Law Blog, two blogs I greatly admire. Last month, another fabulous blog from outside the incestuous circle of the China blogosphere, Westminster Wisdom, was also kind enough to tag me as a Thinking Blog. I suppose that the game is up and I should set about jotting down my own list.
I should point out that I’m trying to avoid tagging the previously tagged, which is difficult as any list of “Thinking Blogs” would of course include TPD, CLB, and Westminster Wisdom right at the top. But I thought it best to expand the circle a bit.
