Generally enjoyed the LRB, if not always. Didn't think it was worth it after the 12 issues for 12 pounds offer had expired, but I am on a student budget
The long essays are excellent such as those, for example, by Ian Jack and by Andrew O’Hagen.
The focus on climate change is welcome.
The poetry is of little interest to me.
