I'm a little obsessed with crossword puzzles, and this series of Sunday tribune puzzles is excellent, I have found, for my skill level. I don't finish very many of them, but I feel like I COULD do it, if I really tried. Ha. That's probably the way it's supposed to be, I suspect. When I try to do the NYTimes Sunday puzzles, I don't feel like there's must hope for me.

The Tribune puzzles feel modern, but not as hip as the Boston Globe puzzles. I like this. I wait for "them" to put out a new volume, and I pace myself, interspersing LA Times puzzles in between these.

I'm a fairly smart person, with an honors degree in literature, but I'm not clever enough, I fear, for the NYTimes puzzles. I wish I were, because I love the paper. Maybe I can sneak these Tribune volumes (that are nicely spiral bound) in between the pages of the Times?

I buy these all the time because I generally love the themes and the puzzles are challenging but not impossible to complete. Much better than NYTimes because I find those ridiculous because of the outlandish clues that are just silly.
