"'The End of History?' offered a rough template for the end."

"Today, chances are, if your book is titled 'The End of' something, it’s long, contradictory, disputable — but still feels irrefutable. And if you spend enough time with these books and articles, five distinct types of ends emerge, with varying degrees of credibility, bombast and persuasiveness."

That's the end of the first screen of a 4-screens-long WaPo article on books with titles that begin "The end of." I stopped there. It felt like the end, and yet I knew it wasn't really the end. Except to the extent that it was.

Now, I see the first comment over there is: "I would read this whole article, but it's the End of the Week and I'm at the End of My Rope."

Ha ha. Does anyone click to page 2?
