Which Magazines do you read

To be honest though, I see magazines as printed television, with similar brain rotting qualities, and I try to avoid them.

pretty boring, no?

The Guardian The Observer New Statesman Uncut A to B (cycling/alternative transport magazine)

Occasionaly I will buy Classic Car mags, but this is only abt 2-3 times a year.

I will buy the new "Wire", cuz robin c's in it. (note to wire folks. employ robin c! Gain an extra reader!)

I also do a lot of newsagent browsing.

Oxford American: C/D?

I love Harper's the best. It's the only one I've ever subscribed too. I cannot find many other magazines I enjoy reading, though I love back issues of Omni. I wish it was still around.

Currently I subscribe to Martha Stewart's Living, Blueprint, Real Simple and Playboy. They're all about to expire and the last two are the only one I'm thinking of renewing.

I should shoot for something higher than bathroom reading.

L'Officiel Hommes, Arena Homme Plus, Harper's, New Yorker, Granta, The Economist, McSweeney's, Paste, Vogue Paris, Paper Mag, The Advocate, Out, The Fader, Pref, VMan, The Nation, People, AdBusters, Wax Poetics, I-D, ArtForum, Tin House, The Wire, GQ, Details, Vogue US, Teen Vogue, W, Z!NK, Elle, Paris Review, Village Voice...

I always wonder where people find time to read lots of magazines. I struggle to get through a tiny amount. National Geographic, National Envtal Law Review, The Monthly, Inside Out, Brief, bits and pieces of various law journals.

Read easy ones with lots of pictures and lists while in the bathroom.

I'm with gem. I only subscribe to Harper's, New Yorker, The Nation and Mother Jones, and I can hardly get through all of those each week and still have time to read, you know, actual books.

I subscribe to Wax Poetics, Decibel, Foreign Policy, and Shambhala Sun.

I'm considering subscribing to The Nation, Dissent and/or Z Magazine. Any suggestions as to which I should go for?

My girlfriend gets Real Simple.

Smithsonian, Art on Paper (though I've almost stopped buying it, they trend a little too art-world these days), Readymade Mag, Harper's, Texas Highways, Oxford American most of the time, Esquire, JPG Magazine, National Geographic Traveller

also about a dozen I run through at the bookstore cafe that I can't find a reason to buy.

All the lefty magazines are pretty dull and/or irrelevant. Who need Z Magazine when I have the Internets?

There's a magazine about .jpgs!?!!?

I read most of the magazines in the waiting room & don't get why people subscribe to them, as it takes me about 13 minutes to read. The usual People, Us, etc. they have especially. But even once when I was stuck at the public assistance dentist I read like 5 whole issues of their 80 back copies of the Nation (!!!!!) (admittedly, I did have to wait like two hours for them to even find my files).

I have found there's scarcely any reason to buy magazines since I am no longer 16 and do not need to buy them for pictures of bands I can affix to notebooks & binders.

Troo, but as an ex-Red I feel like I'm shirking my duty by not picking up the Revolutionary Worker something.

*OR something

down to The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, NY Review of Books. recently let lapse my subscriptions to Wired and Gourmet.

vice

why Playboy, Sam?

I get both the Nation and National Review (+ New Yorker and Harper's)

Mister M takes the London Review of Books. I read the Economist, New Statesman, American Prospect, and Beijing Review in work. I'm not much of a magazine reader really, I find I don't have the patience for them.

reading: New Yorker, Scientific American
would be reading if had more time: Economist, NY Review of Books

none

i read none magazines

None really. I subscribed to Wire for about 5 years, but too expensive!

the Wire, Economist, occasionally pick up a skiing or climbing mag

Six years onwards: I mainly/only read the occasional food mag, Simply Knitting and... well, that's about it really. :-( My bathroom reading consists of checking cookbooks so I know what to prepare the next day.

i read "In Touch"

I subscribe to Wired, Esquire, GQ, Triathlete, SPIN, Sports Illustrated, US, the Writer, Economist.

That is a smart time to do that, nath, I should pick that habit up. Rather than sitting around in a funk all day pondering ground beef permutations.

i read 'nintendo power' when i was like 8

I read The Economist, Poetry, and the Pacific Northwest magazine that comes in the Sunday paper, also the NYT book review section which is magazine-like. Oh! and Winepress Northwest. For work I read Control Engineering. I used to get Gastronomica, Slow, and Cook's. I would still read those, if someone else were paying for them (well, maybe not Slow). I got Bookmarks for a year, wasn't worth it. Mr. Jaq reads the New Yorker, Billboard, and I think he still gets the NYRB although that one might have lapsed.

when i'm at the barbershop i read, in the following order: time, black enterprise, vibe, espn the magazine.
at the auto shop i read ancient issues of: consumer reports, time, espn the magazine.
I read LA Weekly less than once a month now.

I used to get Gastronomica,

I get to read Gastronomica for free in work. I'm not sure I'd pay for it either, there's a few too many "let me tell you about this perfect little bistro I found in Nice" style articles for my liking, but the historical articles are really interesting, and Mister M likes the ones about booze history in particular.

New Yorker, Frieze, Artforum, Film Comment. Then occasionally Wired, the Wire, Sight & Sound, Dwell, Architectural Record. My boss gives me New York and The Economist every week and I just recycle them because they're terrible.

new yorker, harper's, wired

AdBusters, The Wire, Colors, BUTT, Modern Painters, Frieze, Foggy Notions, Grafik regularly and the New Yorker, Res, and Purple Fashion every now and then. It does me fine.

Elle

Hello!

oh i love Hello but it's pricy

I don't like Hello. Too much royalty. I'm more of a Heat girl. I like it when my brother's girlfriend comes to visit, because she buys Heat and New Scientist and leaves them in my parents house in the bathroom.

I get an insane amount of pleasure out of photographs of celebrities looking like shit, well, when they're wearing INSANE outfits, not closeups of acne. I have been know to nearly piss myself in Easons reading them.

Loving INTERVIEW the last couple of months, especially the latest w/ great Richard Prince+Mike Kelley+Cindy Sherman intvws. And the photos are superb. Hope its circulation is ok.

I have let my Harper's subscription go. I'm down to ReadyMade (will not renew), Wired, InStyle and Allure. So high-brow.

Wire, Plan B, Rock-a-Rolla.

Also surprisingly found myself enjoying Record Collector very much this year.

You would never guess you worked in a record shop :)

Always on the job.
