I found Google Reader to be very interesting, and easy and intuitive to use.
I liked the "prepackaged" bundles of feeds that are available for subscription, and I selected two of those - Library and Books. I also subscribed to The Globe and Mail and Jian Ghomeshi's CBC Radio program, so I can keep up to date when I don't have time to listen to the program. I added another site, Awful Library Books, which reports on odd books that have been weeded from various libraries.
I would like to continue to use Google Reader, and refine the feeds that I have chosen. I think I will have to make it a habit to check the feeds daily, maybe after I check e-mail. Otherwise, I think it's easy to forget to use it. I also think it's important to limit the number of feeds so that one does not become overwhelmed.
