4 Columns
4Columns is on holiday break and will be back with a new issue on January 12, 2024! Till then, we look back at our most-read essays of the past year.
Father Time (4Columns assistant senior editor Bolek) and Baby New Year (our mascot Sparky) are ready to ring in 2024—but first, the top-ten reviews of 2023!
Another year past, another year to go out with the old and bring in the new—well, almost! Before 4Columns returns from a brief holiday hiatus to our regular publishing schedule on Friday, January 12, 2024, we turn a nostalgic look back at our ten most-read reviews of 2023. Check out our year-end list, but don’t stop there—in this holiday interlude, also peruse our archives to find other gems you may have missed!
