How can I get started making a C# RSS Reader?

Basically there is a lot of stuff in the .Net 3.5 framework that does the grunt-work of parsing and representing feeds; it’s not hard to write a 30-line app that takes in a feed URL and downloads the feed and prints the title and author of all the items, for example. (Works for RSS 2.0 (not others!) or Atom.)
