After many years I'm still a big fan of Astral Codex Ten (previously Slate Star Codex).

I don't read every single thing that comes across, but Scott does a particular weird brand of fiction now and then that I really love. I also enjoy the book reviews a lot. It's just a good hodgepodge of stuff I find interesting and I think Scott is a pretty good curator and commentator.

I read his book "UNSONG" awhile back and found it equally enjoyable to his blog writing, with the added advantage that it lasted for days.
Unsong is one of my all time favorite reads, it's such a unique and fun thing. I could talk about it for hours honestly, there's so much great material in it. I actually just reread it a month or so ago and still enjoyed every chapter.

It honestly changed the way I looked at religion and I think made me a bit of a softer, more spiritual agnostic-atheist than I had been before. I particularly love the chapter where God explains the problem of evil.
