The Telegraph - it’s what the have as the ‘quality’ newspaper at my local. I skim the whole thing, then do the crossword.

The Guardian - it’s what I buy when I do buy, and read it properly whenever I visit my parents. News reporting is typical of all the broadsheets, however the G2 fun stuff has become really tedious and dare-i-say-it boring. Steve Bell is still a genius, though.

The Independent - which has a less self-important attitude of indecision 😉

I don’t read any of these super-regularly, just whenever basically:

Newspapers:  
St. Louis Post-Dispatch  
The Maneater (campus newspaper)  
Misery Weekly (campus ‘joke’ paper, really funny)  
USA Today (I like the pretty colors)

Magazines:  
Spin  
Rolling Stone  
Popular Photography

And I’m getting a New Yorker subscription (split with roommate) when I get an apartment in August.
