Lire

LireThis is a literary magazine, and as you would expect it deals with the current events of the literary world with reviews of current books, articles on upcoming authors, etc. However it also adds features on classics (articles on classic authors, investigations into themes which span the ages, etc.) which give it a good amount of historical perspective.

Its opinions and reviews are so much more valuable because they are usually quite level-headed, and avoid the "flavor of the month" syndrome of other magazines which are just fronts for editors' publicity outfits.

4,5 stars would have been a more fitting rating, but since the option is not available, I'll round it upwards to five.
