What Magazines do you read?

[Marc Chevalier]

If THE ONION were a magazine, I would read it every week. Heck, I read it every week, anyway.

[Caledonia]

And if we're into pseudo intellectual, I momentarily forgot about:

New Scientist
Private eye

Can't do the economist - ok I cave at that one.

 

[Harp]

Mags

The Economist
Irish Times
New Yorker
Latin Mass Magazine
Iowa Review
Time Out: Chicago, London

 

[RadioHead]

I'm so pedestrian...

Golly.

You folk sure do like your magazines! I'll read darn-near anything in the doctor's office... several year-old National Geographics, Reader's Digests, Time, Newsweek, etc. Only thing I actually subscribe to is "L'Actualité" (French-Canadian newsmagazine out of Québec).

 

[prof500]

Time.
Business Week.
Notre Dame Magazine (alumni mag).
Various nonprofits' magazines (environmental, world poverty, etc.)
Used to subscribe to Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, still miss that one sometimes.
Loved Boy's Life as a kid.

 

[Baron Kurtz]

Harper's
The Atlantic Monthly
Foreign Affairs
Mother Jones (occasionally)
Nature

Dear God that's a lack of variety.

Formerly:

Command
Atomic
National Review (until it got too liberal.... just kidding )

I will read Foreign Affairs when I'm in Barnes and Noble. It fulfills my need to see "right" trumped by realpolitick time and time again.

 

[Lincsong]

National Review
Forbes
American Rifleman
Cigar Aficionado


Speaking of which, if anyone knows where I can get a copy of the first two issues of Cigar Aficionado I would complete my collection as I subscribed beginning with the third issue.

Magazines are addictive to me. I would subscribe to many more but the CEO would not be pleased. I'm so bad that I will go to the library just to read magazines.

 

[Samsa]

I'm too cheap to subscribe to any, but I will usually read these, if a copy comes my way:

Newsweek
The New Yorker
Latin Mass

I also dip my nose from time to time in literary periodicals (The Paris Review, The Kenyon Review, etc.) and am routinely disgusted.

Hindsight being what it is...

As far as old magazines, I love old McCalls and better Homes and Gardens.

Oh, golly. Old magazines. When I was a lot younger, say in my teens, my parents used to go to estate auctions as a hobby. They collected darn-near everything and anything that caught their eye.

One day they came back with the station wagon STUFFED with old Saturday Evening Posts- literally thousands of them- going back to the late 1890s. I spent a very great deal of time going through them, and especially loved the 30s & 40s issues. Automobile advertisements, cigarette ads, etc. I bet I learned more about life in the U.S.A. from those magazines than I ever would have had I only watched TV.

Unfortunately, the entire collection was sold at an enormous yard sale in 1976 when my father got transferred to a new town and bought a smaller house. Of course, the editions with any Norman Rockwell artwork- especially the covers- were first to go, and sometimes only the cover, or a single page were taken. :eusa_doh:

*sigh* Memories.

Please post!

I LOVE old 30's - 50's Lane Bryant and Roamanns catalogs. When I see one, I try my best to snatch it up.

Hi Rosie,

I'd love to see some scans from these, especially the 30's and 40s ones. Any chance you could post some in the Powder Room?

 

[Twitch]

Wow, you guys rock! Lots of ones I haven't heard of but sound interesting. I can see some folks spend a big chunk of change on subscriptions too! :eusa_clap

 

[Rosie]

Hi Rosie,

I'd love to see some scans from these, especially the 30's and 40s ones. Any chance you could post some in the Powder Room?

You know, I've been meaning to do this. I'm thinking of taking pictures of them though because I have no idea how to use my scanner properly [huh] I'm dense in that area.
