<p>Just being nosey, as usual. 
What’s on your magazine rack? Any favorites you or your family can’t do without?</p>
<p>I personally despise magazines…I have better things to do with my time than read about Britney’s latest breakdown and who Lindsey’s dating this week.</p>
<p>haha@HGFM, :)</p>
<p>I never even thought about Ms. Britney. I was thinking along the lines of Newsweek, Readers Digest, lol. I don’t like the Britney type mags either.</p>
<p>Time is a good read.</p>
<p>HisGrace- How can you categorically despise magazines? That’s like saying you despise the internet? There are a lot of excellent magazines and fun reads. Britney didn’t even cross my mind when I saw the title of the thread.</p>
<p>I read a lot- books and magazines. I particularly like magazines for planes, because I can just leave them behind. I get a number of professional publications (legal) at work. I am addicted to The Wall Street Journal which I get at work.
I subscribe to InStyle, Runner’s World, Outside, Self and Lucky. I’ll pick up a US News or other news magazine at the airport if the cover catches my eye. I only gave up some of the other fashion magazines when it became increasingly clear that they were not aimed at my age group!</p>
<p>The New Yorker, Entertainment Weekly, Newsweek, and Harper’s (not Bazaar).</p>
<p>XD I suppose I misunderstood…when I think of magazines, I think of the types my peers read (like the ones I mentioned)…the ones that are obsessed with printing questionably “factual” articles about I don’t know, or anticipate knowing anytime soon.</p>
<p>Forgive me for the misunderstanding…you’re right in that some magazines are very informative and useful. :)</p>
<p>Country Living and Eating Well…my two favorites. Britney isn’t in either one.</p>
<p>Business Week, Southern Living, and Mary Engelbreit Home Companion. I used to get In Style when D was home and enjoyed it very much as a fun read.</p>
<p>The Economist, various yachting magazines, used to have popular science… that’s about it. Have to work on fleshing out that magazine rack once I’m out of college. ;)</p>
<p>The New Yorker has been on my bedside table, in my car, and stuck into a drawer at work since I was in college - that’s more than 30 years now! I would rather live without many other creature comforts than do without that one. </p>
<p>I also like Harper’s, Atlantic Monthly, Vanity Fair (blushing to admit it, but they do publish some very good journalism if you’re willing to look past the disgusting celebrity puff pieces), and sometimes New York.</p>
<p>National Geographic, Newsweek, Reader’s Digest, Vanity Fair</p>
<p>Martha Stewart, Better Homes and Gardens, Renovation Style, Country Home, New England Home, Early American Life. What can I say - I’m a nester.</p>
<p>Newsweek, The Economist, Texas Monthly</p>
<p>Traditional Home</p>
<p>AARP Magazine (well, yes, of course. It’s a very good read.)</p>
<p>I also collect women’s magazines from the 1940s and 1950s. (Get 'em on eBay.) I’m addicted.</p>
<p>I had to stop getting any because I can’t process paper fast enough. Between junk mail and newspapers and magazines–I felt I was constantly dealing with paper. I still feel that way even though I keep cutting back. No more magazines for me. We were travelling a week or so ago and I picked up a NYT supplement in a Red Carpet Club at an airport and I latched on to several articles that were so fascinating–I just can’t imagine getting this stuff every week and then having to throw it in the recycling bin.</p>
<p>frazzled1 has written my post, although I read VF and New York mostly online. The New Yorker is the greatest magazine out there - I’ve been reading it since I was a teenager, got my own subscription once I graduated from college (nearly 30 years ago) and will keep renewing it as long as I have breath left in my body!</p>
<p>I subscribe to ime and Teen Vogue and read those regularly</p>
<p>I read Nylon and W Magazine whenever I get the chance to, cause the subscription is expensive (I’m really into fashion)</p>
<p>I check out Rolling Stone and NME (UK music) once in a while</p>
<p>I also read the New Yorker when I get the chance to, sometimes during study hall if I have no work</p>
<p>The Economist and Time for DH. Vanity Fair is a guilty pleasure for me…
Real Simple…New Yorker</p>
<p>As a panpolitical news enthusiast, I used to subscribe to many news weeklies, from conservative National Review to liberal The Nation, and, of course, middle-of-the-road standards such as Newsweek, Time, and U.S. News & World Report. (One of my quirkier long-term news weekly subscriptions was to Macleans, because I have always found the Canadian perspective of U.S. affairs to be fascinating.) I also enjoy reading about music, film, and theater, so I used to subscribe to a number of arts and entertainment weeklies, as well. New York used to be one of my favorite general interest weekly subscriptions, because it provided me with a little bit of everything. </p>
<p>I stopped subscribing to magazines more than ten years ago, however, as journalistic standards plummeted, subscription prices skyrocketed, and magazine subscription-generated junk mail increased from flurries to a blizzard. Since that time, I have chosen to do my magazine reading at the public library, where I can read a variety of magazines (including my former subscription favorites) quickly and easily, without having to commit myself to multiple subscriptions.</p>
<p>Now that I have Internet access to online editions of newspapers (and magazines) published throughout the world, I do more news and arts/entertainment reading than ever, without having to subscribe to magazines. With a few mouse clicks, I can read local, national, and international reports written from a range of ethnic, cultural, and sociopolitical perspectives. There are no longer any specific magazines (or newspapers) my household “can’t do without.” </p>
<p>If I ever buy another magazine subscription, that magazine will have to be unique, collectible-caliber, and “Simply Irresistible.” I doubt that such a magazine will ever exist.</p>
