 The Best! August 3, 2002

This is the only magazine I read from cover to cover. Each issue usually contains a longish article (12-20 pages); there's no way to predict what it will be about, but you can expect it to be interesting and well-written. Many times, these articles are by hot writers with a new book out or forthcoming. Each issue also has a short story, a few poems, several shorter articles, and humorous items. The book, dance, music, art, and film reviews are good reading. Usually, one of the reviews is an in-depth look at an author or artist, a comparison of recent books on a similar topic, etc. Try it, and try reading even the articles that are outside your usual interests. You'll be surprised at how much you'll enjoy it.

The New Yorker is awesome. I admit, for many years I thought it was a doctor's office standard and nothing more, but once I started reading it, I was hooked. Every issue has at least one several-page article that holds my interest. The political writing is superb, right on track. The best writers from The New Republic back before Clinton came over to the New Yorker, and the quality shows. There is a liberal tendency, but nothing more, I would say. The interviews and in-depth reviews of artists, politicians--the movers and shakers of our time--are revealing and well crafted. This is a magazine for thinking people. Plus you get the cartoons, which are a hoot and a holler if ever there was one. A must.

Ordered the New Yorker on Dec 12, 2002.
It is now Feb. 15, 2003 and I still haven't received the first issue.
This is a weekly magazine, folks. C'mon.
Excellent writing July 9, 2005

Few magazines can match the New Yorker's high caliber of journalism, fiction, reviews, and of course, cartoons; all written by some of the best writers in the land. It makes mainstream magazines like Time and US News look like high school newspapers. But, one word of caution: if you're the type of person that whines "liberal bias" at anything that you slightly disagree with, then this is not the magazine for you.

in a world where hype and superficial journalism has reached new dimensions, the new yorker is an amazing world in itself. there goes rarely an article left unread by the time a new issue arrives, the lure of many worlds to explore and promise to really learn about life as it is now. most of all, it's definitely worth the time.
