The Millions is an online literary magazine created by C. Max Magee in 2003.[1][2] It contains articles about literary topics and book reviews.
The name was chosen as a play on Magee's name, Maximilian, and because Magee thought the site would be millions of interesting things.[1] In 2011 the blog released between three and four reviews per week.[3] According to the scholar Sebastian Domsch, "The postings reveal the characteristic mixture of a very strong emphasis on personal experiences and viewpoints on the one side and an extensive practice of intertextual opening up by way of hyperlinks on the other."[4] The Sudbury StarTemplate:'s Jessica Watts wrote, "My favourite part of this site is the feature The Future of the Book, which includes a number of articles looking at the rise of the digital age and the increase in use of digital books and media (of particular interest for me, someone working in a library".[5]
The Millions posted an open letter to the Swedish Academy in 2011 asking it to "stop the nonsense and give Philip Roth a Nobel Prize for Literature before he dies."[6]
In 2019 The Millions was acquired by Publishers Weekly.[7]
