What magazines do you read?
I get a few free trade magazines through work, but never have the time to read any of them. Just skim the headlines.
I canceled all my personal subscriptions a long time ago because I never read any of them.
- Keyser Soze - 05-17-2002
Sporting News which comes weekly. Spin, Urb, Wired and The Face.

The problem I have is that I hate to throw away magazines, for some reason. I have stacks and stacks of back issues of all sorts of magazines. It's like I archive them for some reason, but I rarely go back and look at them.
The only upside is that my "library" is always stocked with decent reading materials.

A few months ago I found a bunch of deals for free 1-year subs to a bunch of mags. In no particular order :
Stuff/FHM
PC Mag/Computer Shopper
PC Gamer/GameNow/GamePro/EGM
Modern Drummer
Out of all those, I only paid for the PC Gamer and Modern Drummer subs. Once the freebies run out, I don't see myself renewing them. They do help pass the time on my morning commute though.

- Spitfire - 05-17-2002
personal subscriptions:
Sports Illustrated
Playboy
Entertainment Weekly (don't ask me why I read this trash)
Rolling Stone - great political and feature articles, but really shitty music coverage...mr. spitfire always yells at me for complaining and bitching about the music articles but keep a subscription going...
does the Aquarian count?
I read just about every magazine for work though, especially women's and outdoor publications, looking for our barbecue and pickle placements
- Maynard - 05-17-2002
I used to be a magazing junkie. But now I get most of my reading done on the web. I prefer it becasue I now don't have to deal with the stacks of old issues I collect. Just like k1d. I never throw them away in case I ever want an article again.
- Skitchr4u - 05-17-2002
Spin
Rolling Stone
Wired
Time
Sporting News
does TV Guide count?
- Maynard - 05-17-2002
Quote:does TV Guide count?Do you read the articles or just look at the pictures?
If you read the articles, then yes, it does count.
- Skitchr4u - 05-17-2002
there are articles in it? I only use it because IKEA isn't at my house telling me what is on tv
- Kid Afrika - 05-18-2002
For you skitchr < I luv this fuckin' site. Also, my All-in-Wonder card came with some listing software that's pretty good, but I still use TVGuide.com.
- The Sleeper - 05-18-2002

- Luna - 05-20-2002
Subscriptions:
1. National Geographic - best magazine ever. 'Nuff said
2. PC Photo - I'm a photography junky
3. Whole Dog Health Journal - Well, what did you expect? Also, this publication does not rely on or accept advertising so, biased articles are nill, just the hard facts.
4. BARk Magazine - another dog mag. I am waiting for.
Purchases:
1. Maximum - PC Mag (when I can find it)
2. Dog & Kennel, Dog World, Dog Fancy - (occasionally)
3. Heavy Metal Magazine - (nope....not music)
I also get alot of magazines through the office as courtesy subscriptions. I can't even begin to list them, but, the ones I read are the New York centered magazines.
Like Kid and Maynard I have a very hard time parting with them.
