The New York Review of Books (or NYREV or NYRB) is a fortnightly magazine with articles on literature, culture and current affairs.

- National Geographic is definitely on my Top 10. The best part about gifting magazine subscriptions is that they can be enjoyed again and again when you donate them to a library, senior home, homeless shelter or other worthy outlet.
