Our joint subscription deal<\/strong> is in its final weeks: through the end of August, get The Paris Review <\/em> and the\u00a0London Review\u00a0of Books<\/em><\/strong> for just $70 U.S. (If you\u2019re already a Paris Review <\/em>subscriber, we\u2019ll extend your subscription to The Paris Review <\/em>for another year, and your LRB <\/em>subscription will still begin immediately.)<\/p>\n

By now, you\u2019ve gotten the gist of our\u00a0contest<\/strong>, too: through August 31, post a photo of yourself reading The Paris Review <\/em>or the London Review of Books<\/em> on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest, and use the #ReadEverywhere hashtag and one of our magazines\u2019 handles. Our favorite photographer will win an Astrohaus Freewrite<\/a>, the hotly anticipated smart typewriter that lets you write virtually anywhere. Need some inspiration? Pinterest users can get a glimpse of the competition here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Subscribe today<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Okay, that\u2019s enough of the hard sell. Here, in a shameless bid for virality, are photos of our magazines with cats. But this is no time for smug self-congratulation. You\u2019ll note that the LRB<\/em> is found far more often with felines than The Paris Review<\/em>. What accounts for this disparity, we cannot say\u2014we refuse on principle to believe, say, that cats prefer\u00a0\u017di\u017eek to Houellebecq. But we urge readers of the quarterly to place it in the vicinity of their cats early and often, so that we might attract a wider cat subscriber base before the summer\u2019s out. <\/p>\n
