This is my list of subscribed magazines just to give you an idea of how crazed I am:
Entertainment Weekly
Self
mental floss
The New Yorker
Smithsonian
National Geographic Traveler
Budget Travel
Travel & Leisure
NY Times Book Review
From the newsstand, I will occasionally get Real Simple, Everyday with Rachael Ray, O the Oprah Magazine, Psychology Today, and/or whatever happens to have appealing cover topics. And I belong to Weight Watchers (down 35 lbs -- woo hoo) so I usually pick up that magazine, though I probably should just get a subscription for that too....

I buy other women mags occasionally, and wish there were books-literature magazines on sale too!

Secondly, I subscribe to the following:
BBC Wildlife
National Geographic
Vanity Fair
and when I get paid this month I will be adding:
Dogs Today
Your Dog (I work with dogs so these are always helpful!)
Harpers Bazaar
Opera Magazine
Apart from Fashion mags I don't like (what I call) girly magazines like Cosmo and the like but anything with good photography or animals/nature (both is always a bonus of course) float my boat!

Oh dear, you've brought up a very touchy subject, LOL! I've subscribed to so many magazines that now I get offers for the "professional" price, which is usually $10 for 1 year - how can I resist???
Then, of course, if they are not read (yes, from cover to cover), I have to save them for the future.
I've got a lot of reading to do in the future!!!

I have at least six months of back issues of:
Smithsonian
Florida Humanities
O
O at Home
Cosmo
Self
Alternative Press (music)
Real Simple
GQ
Vogue
I love love love magazines. I read every article in every issue, they are like crack!



I didn't renew my subscription to Reader's Digest this year either, but I'm reading unread back copies ... among other periodicals!


Let's see...what's in there...we've got The New Yorker, The New York Review of Books, The Atlantic Monthly, Gourmet (my wife's), New York Magazine (also my wife's), Yankees Magazine (that's the magazine of the New York Yankees and, believe it or not, it's ALSO my wife's!), various and sundry alumni publications, plus Apollo, Art News, Artforum, Art Papers, Art in America, Art and Antiques...Maybe it's time to start cutting back....

More, Oprah, Living Simple, TV Guide, Entertainment Weekly, Country Living (now defunct), Yankee, AARP, Reader's Digest (didn't renew this year), Redbook, Body & Soul, Health ...
Whew, guess I'm a magazine addict!



and Tiger Beat..I used to use all the money I had so that i could get the posters out of all those teeny bopper mags...ahh i still remember this huge poster of Jonathan Taylor Thomas as well as the Hanson brothers. lol. ohh good times.

And who says the publishing industry is in trouble??? We all seem to be doing our part, no?


I love Cook's Country and buy the occassional issue but I find it expensive. For christmas I asked for and received the Cook's Country Cookbook that came with a free DVD of season 1 of their PBS series. I'll get more recipes out of that one book than if I subscribed to the magazine. (It was $24.95 plus shipping and has 598 pages). Anyone else have books on their christmas lists?
Oprah
Woman's Day

I adore buying Focus there. You have Focus, Focus Storia, Focus domande e risposte and Focus Extra. One is thicker than the other. But I adore them, I am addicted to them. And after being there for some weeks we already have a whole pile of them.

Domande e risposte has all kinds of questions and their answer with a bit of explanation. Great to read a bit now and then and very interesting. Extra is always about only one thing. For now I got one about Milano and Rome. It tells about the history of those cities, what kind of person the general Milan person is or a person from whatever city it talks about, the general picture of a person from there. The normal Focus will have also on e main topic which like half the magazine is about from different points told and smaller articles about other topics than can be about jsut everything: history, relationships, science, financial, sex, nature, animals. technology, health..... just whatever.
All of their magazines are written in a way that it always stays interesting and while you feel that you are relaxing and reading a magazine, you learn so much stuff.
I gave a coupon the my boyfriend's mother for il mio primo focus which is like my first Focus and for kids, so she could give it for her grandson and he adores it. he can color in it, read together with his mother, learn things in a joyful way....
This is the link, in italian: http://www.focus.it/

I also get one or two issues of many different magazines, then I cancel the subscription. That way I can try out many more kinds.
I hate to toss any until I read them because there is something in them I can learn! I pass them on or recycle them (when I tear out too many articles)
I get too many catalogs, also! I'm trying to cut back on those by contacting the company to stop the ones I really wouldn't order from.
The scary part is that I do read all of them - almost from cover to cover.
