<p>Just to mention some that others haven’t: New Republic, New Scientist, Moment. New Scientist should really be paying me kickback money for all the new subscribers I’ve generated for them. One neighbor–a landscape designer–got one of our issues by mistake, read it before returning it to us, and immediately went out and got his own subscription. </p>
<p>D1 gets the New Yorker, and gets very annoyed when DH swipes it from the mail pile. She keeps them heaped in her room, rather like Smaug and his jewels :)</p>
<p>I bring the old magazines to work, or leave them at the library, or in waiting rooms where there aren’t lots of magazines. We used to bring them to the elementary school to be used for collages, but that stage of life is over.</p>
<p>garland (and all you other fellow New Yorker fans), did you know that there’s a New Yorker caption contest game (as in, the kind that comes in a box)? It’s a lot of fun.</p>
<p>We run out on Sundays to buy the NY Times and Washington Post, and I don’t make it through even those two publications. Mags I like to get but haven’t been recently are Scientific American and National Geographic.</p>
<p>ExH is always given a subscription of National Geographic from his dad for Christmas; this is a long-standing tradition in his family. His sisters get a subscription from their dad, too. One Christmas season, I found a card the front of which read something like, “On Christmas, good children get toys, and bad children get coal.” The inside read, “So-so children get subscriptions to National Geographic.” I thought this was absolutely hysterical (still do!) and of course, gave it to my thenH; he was not nearly as tickled with the card as I was. </p>
<p>My current (and last, I swear!!!) H usually subscribes to National Geographic, let his subscription lapse, and hasn’t started it up again.</p>
<p>I love magazines and get: NY Review of Books, New Yorker, Time, Smithsonian, Organic Gardening, Horticulture, Dwell, Architectural Digest, Art and Antiques, Sports Illustrated, More, Real Simple, Cook’s Illustrated, and Gourmet. I recycle magazines at the transfer station and take some to my gym. My husband also gets the Wall Street Journal at home along with NY Times and Boston Globe.</p>
<p>I regularly read, American Artist, American Art Collector, The Artist, Pastel Journal, International Artist, Somerset Studio, Birder’s World, Interweave Knits, Quilter’s Newsletter, Poets and Writers, Poetry, and Glimmer Train.</p>
<p>Sometimes buy Atlantic Monthly, Time, National Geographic (use to have subscription, but let it lapse), Bead and Button, Inspirations (Australian embroider magazine), and Paris Review (literary magazine).</p>
<p>Magazines: The Economist, US News & World Report, Fortune, Money, Mens Health, Esquire, Time, Motor Trend, Automobile, Road & Track, Sports Illustrated, ESPN, Home Theater, Stereophile and Robb Report</p>
<p>Newspapers: The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times</p>
<p>Magazines: Stereophile, Absolute Sound, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly
Newspapers: One of my great life’s pleasures is reading the NY Times every Sunday.
Late & lamented: Spy & early National Lampoon (was a charter subscriber to both), Listener (publisher now writes for Stereophile).</p>
I’ll be looking very closely at that back page. . . .</p>
