“If the New Yorker strikes you as a smidge too accessible, you'll surely savor the serious esoterica superlatively selected by this 'sletter.”
Sam Circle, Last Week's New Yorker Review
“Okay, several of us at Wisdom of Crowds absolutely love this sprawling, clever, witty, and often quite entertaining "review" that's focused on books and big ideas (and a lot more. It's unclear how they maintain such a consistent level of quality day in and day out). ”
