I'm asham
This is a rare internet site that takes its literature seriously, and is aimed at readers who have wide and catholic tastes. One of the other reasons it's a rarity is that there is an actual staff, who are paid for their work in real money. Together with guest writers and reviewers, they produce articles and features that are thoughtful, well-written and cover the whole spectrum of literature, both fiction and non-fiction, contemporary and classic.
On the site there is a main page devoted to reviews, with links to bookstores so that you can buy the books immediately; there's a page of archives so that you can browse previous articles; there's a page of 'lists', which are essentially the books that the site's founder, Max Magee, is reading or has read; and there's also a page promoting the ebooks that the site has begun to publish itself. You can also choose to support the site by making a contribution via Paypal.
All told, it's a site to get lost in if you're interested at all in books and literature and, I daresay, culture in general.
The welcome page is here.
ed to say that I've only just become aware of The Millions, 'an online magazine offering coverage on books, arts, and culture since 2003'.
