NY Review of Books -- Yes it matters to You!

Yeah I just put it in the box for $15.99/year.

I need to renew Harper's. All the doom & gloom covers are overwrought sky is falling stuff and I can go the rest of my life without reading another LATE ROMAN EMPIRE analogy, but I'll gladly pay $20/year for 12 installments of the Readings, Index & Findings sections. Anything else good is just a bonus.

i've subscribed off and on for years, letting my subscription lapse and then re-upping from an ad or one of those discount-thingies rather than shelling out for the official re-subscription. it's an excellent pub overall, some issues may be slim then there'll be one like the current number with half-a-dozen good pieces in it. great way to keep up w/books that you wouldn't have time to read. really smart political essays too.

I love Harpers so much. I just resubbed this week (partially for the new issues, mostly for their online archives). NY Review of Books sometimes wows me, but not enough to shell out for a sub. Also, all my professors at school get comp subs and my thesis adviser lets me borrow hers.

New York Review of Books has the best personals.

"RETIRED CHICAGO LAWYER, independent scholar. Curious, very fit, 6' male; sixties. Sings tenor; looks great. Passions include apples, arias, trees, arpeggios, homegrown tomatoes, justice, jazz. Trusting there is a tall and slender woman wanting to share it all."

A DEFINITE CATCH. University professor, fit, youthful 57 (looks 45), loves wine, good food and cooking, the buzz of the city, the solitude of mountains, science, jazz, movies, and James Joyce. Seeking slim, attractive, intellectually curious 35–early 50s-year-old lady, based Chicago or East Coast for companionship, travel to exotic lands, laughter, and cozy evenings. No Republicans please.

"intellectually curious"

taking next year off. brain melted.

soon as i have money i wanna renew, i felt so much smarter while i was reading this regularly
