Finding time to read isn't easy. Enter the “blink”: a convenient summary of a nonfiction book's key ideas. Blinkist Premium ($29.99) offers subscribers a library of nonfiction books each distilled into a series of "blinks," making it possible to absorb all of a work’s key points in about 15 minutes. You’ll quickly get caught up on your reading list and be the life of the intellectual party at your next gathering!
