London Review
of Books- Great book reviews. The
London Review of Books was founded in 1979, during the
year-long lock-out at the Times. For the first six
months, it appeared marsupially in the New York Review of
Books. In May 1980, the London Review of Books
jumped out of the parental pouch and became a fully independent
literary paper. Since 1979, the London Review of Books
has stood up for the tradition of the literary and intellectual
essay in English. Each issue contains up to 15 long reviews and
essays by academics, writers and journalists. There are also
shorter art and film reviews, as well as poems and a lively
letters page. A typical issue moves through political commentary
to science or ancient history by way of literary criticism and
social anthropology. So, for example, an issue can open with a
piece on the rhetoric of war, move on to reassessing the
reputation of Pythagoras, follow that with articles on the
situation in Iraq, the 19th-century super-rich, Nabokov’s
unpublished novel, how saints got to be saints, the life and
work of William Empson, and an assessment of the poetry of Alice
Oswald.
Bookforum- Links to reviews, journals,
books, ideas Bookforum is an international book review magazine devoted to the
discussion of literature, as its sister publication
Artforum is dedicated to
contemporary art. The editors are the poet and writer
Albert Mobilio, and
Washington DC-based writer and editor Chris Lehmann. The magazine is published five times a year and is based in New York. Bookforum was launched in 1994 as a literary supplement to
Artforum. Originally
published biannually, Bookforum became quarterly in 1998, and has been published
five times a year since 2005. Bookforum contains book reviews, interviews, and
essays. Its
editor in chief was Eric Banks from 2003 to 2008. In 2008 the magazine
underwent editorial reorganisation.
Albert Mobilio, the fiction editor, became co-editor with Chris Lehmann. In 2009, the magazine’s website was redesigned. Bookforum.com now has a
nationwide literary events calendar, "web exclusive" daily reviews, two blogs,
an extensive selection of archived material, and a section called "Syllabi,"
which consists of reading lists submitted by authors and critics.

is a web portal owned by The Chronicle of Higher Education.

the characteristics of a weblog. According to founder and editor
Denis Dutton, a native of Los Angeles, California, and a
professor of philosophy at the University of Canterbury, in
Christchurch, New Zealand, Arts & Letters Daily is an
aggregation site originally inspired by the Drudge Report but
intended for "the kinds of people who subscribe to the New
York Review of Books, who read Salon and Slate
and The New Republic — people interested in ideas."
