1. The theme of the reading this week was the use of coffee houses as a place to learn and exchange information.
2. A specific phrase that stood out to me was [i.e., carping] because I feel like it was supposed to try and make me understand what the sentence was about but in reality it just confused me.
3. While it didn't generate a new idea the article did reinforce the idea of using places food and drink consumption as a place to obtain information.
4. A modern parallel to this article is a bar. While Hollywood may not be the most accurate source of information, in many movies nowadays if you need information you go to the nearest bar. While this may not be completely true in the real world I believe that you could still find out some information at a bar.
