Reading Pack is a fun and simple website to read and share interesting articles. You can use it to find and read interesting and trending articles on the web, and also share these articles with others. Reading Pack lets you specify your interests in order to serve you curated web articles, which are then displayed in a visual grid like fashion. You can also follow other users (and be followed by them) to see the articles they are reading. You can “like” articles to up vote them. In addition to that, Reading Pack also lets you save web articles from anywhere to your reading list instantly, so that they can be read later. All these articles are added to your public (by default) reading list, which can be viewed by others to know what you’re reading (and recommending). Sounds like something useful? Let’s find out more.
