Need stuff to read? The New Yorker is free for the summer.

Beginning this week, every story we’ve published since 2007 will be available on newyorker.com, in the same easy-to-read format as the new work we’re publishing. Over the summer, we’ll also provide a sampling of many of the older pieces that our readers keep asking for—including short stories by Alice Munro and Junot Díaz, Janet Flanner on Isadora Duncan, Calvin Trillin on the crime reporter Edna Buchanan, and Mark Singer on the magician Ricky Jay. We’ve also asked our writers to recommend favorite stories from the past, and those selections will be featured on the site and on social media throughout the summer. More here

This is a great initiative from an amazing publication. If you don't know where to start, other websites have posted articles compiling essential pieces. Here's one from Slate.

enjoy m8s

I don't like the re-design. Most of the articles that interest me are always free but cheers anyway.

Good marketing move, but I've never been interested in the magazine.

It's an american magazine so it must not be any good.

I know you are joking but anyone that honestly believes that is an idiot. America produces the best culture and affairs mags.

Please, tell us what magazines your country has and why they are so much better in comparison.

lol he's only joking man.

Magazines are dead

In print form? Probably, but there will always be a dedicated niche for it. Magazines themselves? Absolutely not. More and more are going digital only and moving their business models online. High quality journalism will never be dead.

...cuz you know no one wants to pay for that sh*t.

I like physical stuff

@DaJuicyMan: I pay for it, soooooo.........

hmm. I've heard of the New Yorker, but I don't exactly know what that is.

I've already got stuff to read this summer: the Lord of the Rings and Unbroken.

you can read it while you surf your mac at your local starbucks while taking breaks from writing your screenplay

mmmm, i recently went through all three lotr books in 4 days.

good stuff. it makes the movie haters (the ones who like the books) sound even more stupid though. I cant count the amount of times I read a part in lotr and thought "how can anyone expect them to put this in the movie?"

Weird attempt at being funny, m8. I never heard of TNY being associated with hipsters of any kind.

Is everyone unfunny in Ottawa

yes

Lol, what makes you think I use a Mac OR buy coffee at Starbucks?

@airshocker Soooo, you are writing a screen play?

I have written a screen play before. Needless to say if it was any good I probably wouldn't be posting here. :P

military or sci-fi

or both.....?

Dark, modern fantasy.

Thanks for the "heads-up"......great magazine!
