For our house…

**The Economist** , for reasons mentioned above.  
**Time** , for a bit more (sort of) news.  
**Astronomy** , because it’s my dad’s hobby.  
**Readers Digest** , a gift from the grandparents.

None right now, other than PC Gamer. I think I’m going to get another two-year subscription, then be done for awhile.

Ski, **Discover** is neat. I find it to be a little easier to digest than the other magazine like it, **Scientific American**. I’d say a subscription is a good idea. It’s really got some interesting stuff.
