<p>We get National Geographic Travel and Nat’l Geo. Adventure, Time, Consumer Reports, Popular Mechanics and Popular Science. This is the time of year to add or delete so I’m rethinking them all… My guys like Pop Mech. and Pop Science but I’m thinking of dropping one of them for a more computer oriented magazine - any suggestions?</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Who else would you put on the cover of a magazine named “Oprah?” ;-)</p>
<p>epistrophy thanks for the newsletter suggestion!</p>
<p>I live for The New Yorker. It’s the one luxury I cannot do without.</p>
<p>Fave subscriptions in our house: New York Review of Books, London Review of Books, Atlantic Monthly, Rolling Stone and the Economist. I’ll also pick up cooking mags like Gourmet and Bon Appetit at the grocery checkout from time to time but mostly do recipes searches online.</p>
<p>Runners’ World, In Style, Lucky, Self, Outside</p>
<p>The New Yorker; Quilter’s Newsletter; The Nation; Practical Horseman; Organic Gardening.
The order of reading determined by the season!</p>
<p>Real Simple, Vanity Fair, Cottage and Coastal Living, Smithsonian</p>
<p>I like “Dwell”, also Atlantic Monthly, consumer reports, Texas Observer and Texas Monthly</p>
<p>Like: Cook’s Illustrated, Lucky, Real Simple
Hate: Women’s magazines whose main foci are: scary diseases you just might have without knowing it, and remarkable quick weight loss diets.</p>
<p>Another fan of Cooksillustrated because of the science and technique, and I also subscribe to the online site ( nice recipe site and discussion forum). I also LOVE Saveur and like Gourmet for their articles about food and culture, not as much for the recipes, because it’s more efficient to search on line when I need a recipe. Epicurious.com ( an on line source of recipes from Bon Apetit and Gourmet, as well as a discussion forum) is free… I used to get Fine Cooking ( it’s Taunton website also has a good discussion forum and online recipes but most of the latter is NOT free ) , and Food and Wine but I had to let SOME go. And I always read Wired when I travel, and sometimes Fast Company.</p>
<p>the economist, the new yorker, wired, the american prospect, the atlantic monthly, (occasionally) newsweek. i’m a political junkie. :)</p>
<p>Outside magazine is really fantastic. Great writers and fascinating topics. Now, I can’t claim it’s particularly useful in my daily life, but I love reading about the adventurers out there scaling mountains and fighting off pirates as they sail around the world alone. Great escapist reading!</p>
<p>Another vote for Cook’s Illustrated, the CI website, and all the CI cookbooks (which are often on the cut-out tables at Costco). In case anyone feels the need to participate in (or just lurk on) yet another discussion board, the CI website has a good one. No mention of college admissions, as far as I know.</p>
<p>Our State (yes, that’s the name of this NC mag.). It’s a monthly publication with gorgeous pictures from across the state. Every issue is full of articles about the big and small towns of our state, festivals, restaurants, entertainment, stories about the lives of extraordinary people in ordinary small towns. We love it because while lots of the places are familiar to us, many are not and the bonus is that most are just day trip away for fun weekend explorations. It’s a great resource for any newcomers to our state whether coming for a vacation or as new residents.</p>
<p>I love magazines and use to subscribe to several, but I just never wanted to get rid of any of them and I would have piles of them so I stopped for many years. But now I will only get one magazine at a time and I switch off maybe every other rear. Did Real Simple for 2 years, then Martha Stewart, Cottage Living, but now I am addicted to Everyday with Rachel Ray. I love the articles and the recipes. On Sundays my husband and I scour the magazine and pick out recipes we are going to try for the month. It is becoming our ritual.</p>
<p>The Economist, TIME, and a selection of other politically-focused material. I usually read news editorials moreso than “magazines”.</p>
<p>Cook’s Illustrated…love the way it tells how the different options affect the texture…that way it can be just the way I think it should be from traditional family cooking memories. </p>
<p>This Old House…who could not trust this magazine to learn all the best ways to fix and spruce up, as well as redo entirely.</p>
<p>I love “the sun” it is the best magazine I have ever read.</p>
<p>Another vote for The New Yorker. Also This Old House – full of ads, but always some advice I find helpful (whether or not I follow it is another story).</p>
<p>And- for picture browsing if you love older homes: Old House Interiors and a british magazine called Country Life-- I bought some used copies of it for spare change at our library’s book sale one year. Very neat.</p>
