I dunno, I’m not all that happy with the list. There are a few on the top ten that I am glad are there but no National Geographic? I was sure this would be top ten - easy. I think there’s a definite argument for number 1.

In no order, my top ten Magazines (which does change from month to month, hell my subscriptions change nearly that often):

MacLeans  
The Economist  
Variety  
Details  
Sports Illustrated  
National Geographic  
The Walrus  
Maxim  
Car and Driver  
Scientific American

The only magazine I’ll read is Reason, which I think is a truly thoughful political magazine.

Otherwise, I’m not a mag fan. My husband, on the other hand, loves 'em. Men’s Health, various gaming mags, Astronomy, various photography mags, various gardening mags, various birding mags, all burgeoning from the mailbox.
