what magazines or publications do you read regularly?

[enree erzweglle]

Which ones do you buy or go out of your way to read either as paper/bound publications or as online pieces? I'm talking about reading for work/professional reasons or just for pleasure.

[cosmo105]

adbusters
bust
scientific american (not so much anymore)
national geographic
a zillion organic/natural retailer magazines we get at my store

[RaZoRbLaDe KiSs]

Cosmo and sometimes Glamor.
But I will go out of my way every month to go to the store to get my Cosmo. Its a MUST!!

[Freebasser]

[alruggs]

XXL, Bust, In Style consistently.

I was at the newsagent last week buying a fitness magazine that had a cosmo-like sex survey on it. The guy behind the register, who is such a sweet heart, said something about how that magazine had a very good sex survey in it.

Then he realized what he was saying--he didn't blush but I could tell he was uncomfortable saying that to me.

Then he said something like, "It's very important for men to read everything they can about women."

I love him.

[enree erzweglle]

Bust

What is that magazine? I see it in a book shop that I go to but I've never opened it. I hate to browse magazines without buying them.

[cosmo105]

Bust
<3

Jane used to be great. i subscribed to it for years. then last year...ughhh. it got so awful. i mean, seriously. paris hilton on the cover. it turned in to Cosmopolitan. it used to be so great! good sex tips, DIY, really interesting stories...at least Bust is still awesome. Bitch is great too.

[mickill]

I buy these on a regular basis, as in every issue:

Music

i agree about the jane thing. but i get those really long subscriptions. they have completely changed their format. it's not even funny anymore.

Bust (http://www.bust.com) this will give you a good idear of what it's all about.

[enree erzweglle]

a zillion organic/natural retailer magazines we get at my store

What are your top couple of magazines in this category? Most of what I know about this stuff, I know from books but I'd like to keep more current with a magazine. And the magazine shops here have NOTHING in this category other than weight-loss stuff.

I want something that features articles about herbs, vitamins, healthy eating/lifestyles, but I don't want it to be oriented around weight loss/trendy stuff.

[cosmo105]

pauli - exactly. it's just like every other "chick" magazine out there now. :(

hrmm...well these are mostly advertisements we get from big companies. the main ones that we get that aren't just from one corp. would be Organic Retailer and...ahh what's the other one called...Natural Foods Merchandiser. i think. a really good one to read, though, is Life Extension. i think the public can subscribe to that. that one's really got all the newest info. and it's more about health than trendy stuff.

Isn't it like half the price of all those other "chick" magazines now, though?

[enree erzweglle]

I'll check that out!
You always give good advice about this stuff. I appreciate it.

[cosmo105]

aww, thanks. i try.

[milleson]

Wired - my husband and I fight over who gets to read it first

[marsdaddy]

My subscriptions are Vibe, Mother Jones, and Best Life. Best Life was a gift and it's kind of like Cosmo for men.

[zippo]

yea id like to go onto something more serious soon than continue to work at one of those "chick" magazines were all talking about for the rest of my life, getting sort of tired of that, i knew i wouldnt take it for long. what a stupid freaking movie to feel identified with but anyone seen How to lose a guy in 10 days? haha,um, yea.

and before, i used to buy every edition of Spin and Rolling Stone, but then we moved here where everything is ridiculously expensive. im going to ny!

[HEIRESS]

I still buy Jane randomly cause its so cheap and sucks me in

National Geographic (parents subscription)

I also get Ready Made and National Geographic.

[Medellia]

I used to get Rolling Stone because my subscription was really cheap. I still get Spin but I don't know how much longer I have on that one. I get Jane or Nylon sometimes if I want a chick magazine. I love, love, love Mojo, Q, and Uncut but they're sooooo frigging expensive.

OK, this is the part where I go throw up now.

Disclaimer--the idea of Aidan's shlong is not vomit-inducing, but TS's fantasies about having little adventures with it is.

[guerillaGardner]

Ecologist - regularly
Permaculture - regularly

Utne - not so regularly. It's turning into a very girlie lifestyle magazine - losing it's visionary, radical edge.

Less regularly - Kitchen Garden, Resurgence, Buddhadharma, Mother Earth News, Shambhala Sun, The Economist, New Statesman, Mother Jones

[jabumbo]

i have a subscription to rolling stone

i'd like to get national geographic if anything more.


i dont really read at all, but i can usually make it through a magazine

[Tzar]

Xpress (a gig guide) only cause it's free and everywhere.

i read newspaper more than magazines too.

[cubsfirstplace]

i read MAD, am i the only one????
i also read entertainement weekly, and rolling stone but not as much

[jabumbo]

i used to stock up on 3 or 4 issues of MAD every summer for vacation, but i havent done that in probably 5 years

[QueenAdrock]

Glamour and Seventeen. Just because I work for a dental office and when I've run out of reading material, those are the only appealing ones...the rest are like, Ebony, Trailer Life, and Dance USA or something.

Otherwise, I don't read magazines.

[cubsfirstplace]

are there any other good humor magazines?

[QueenAdrock]

...not really. MAD is the only one, sorta.

[cubsfirstplace]

Reader's Digest

Art in America


always meant to subscribe, have a decent collection of

Nest

(I have other collections like that but I mention Nest because I love it so.)


Lately I've been picking up quilting magazines when I'm in the quilt shop or traveling (there's always a great selection in supermarkets - the smaller the town, the bigger the selection it seems). My favorite so far is Quilter's Newsletter. And I get work-related stuff like the Guild of Book Workers newsletter.

Those are just the physical ones... I'm sure I've forgotten some... oh, I also pick up the Onion when I pass a box. I also pick up the odd one-off mag now and then. I won't get into all the stuff I read online.
