I would like to subscribe to many others, but then I’d have no time to read books.
We’ve cut it down to just New Scientist.
My name is also on the Donald Duck comic book subscription, but it’s for the junior flodnaks. They almost never let me read it
I get Newsweek, Consumer Reports, and PC Gamer.
The kids get Ranger Rick and Your Big Backyard.
My wife gets some women’s magazines, but I don’t pay attention to what they are.
For years, my parents gave us the Smithsonian for Christmas. I finally told them that we didn’t read it much, and that I’d rather have the Atlantic, but that was the year that they stopped giving everyone subscriptions.
While I should get a subscription to Glamour and to Cosmo (it is a terrible, horrible addiction- the both of them.), I have avoided it. It would also wreak havoc with my perfectly balanced subscriptions. I’d need two more intelligent subscriptions.
I do have a subscription to Playboy and National Geographic.
Although now I’ll be checking out Mental Floss online, probably in my daily folder of my favorites. Thanks!
May I suggest a subcription to OCD Weekly?
I kid, I kid! I’m a kidder . . .
I can’t afford to subscribe to any, but if I could pony up the $100 a year for *The Economist * I would.
Just Vanity Fair because that was my favorite reward from doing online surveys. I had to use the points or lose them.
Rolling Stone
Car & Driver
Martha Stewart Living
Even I think that is an odd assortment!
Funny, but it is more a matter of vanity than OCD. It’d be ok if the number of intelligent subscriptions outnumbered the fluff ones, too. Just don’t want my postmaster to think I’m a perverted diva with no redeeming qualities.
Subscribe:
Newsweek
Reader’s Digest
Read often anyways:
Readymade
Brendon Small
Work: Fine Gardening
Horticulture
Garden Design
Nurseryman News
Southern Living
Carolina Gardening
assorted other trade pubs
Read all cover to cover to keep up, leaving little time for:
Home: Nat Geographic, thanks to Aunt Betty, who gives it generously each Christmas, with some delicious homemade peanut brittle.
Garden Solutions-- edited by our own Twicks-a-Liscious; a very fine
gardening mag
HerbalGram- great magazine for solidly researched medicinal herb info
Living Blues–was my life for a decade, still a great music magazine
Buy, but really should just resubscribe:
Tricycle-- excellent Buddhist magazine
Shambala-- ditto
The Nation
Harper’s
And, one I really, really should re-subscribe to, and well-recommend:
Orion magazine
Top-notch stories and artwork/photography on nature subjects.
Gorgeous production.
I get MEntal Floss, and National Geographic.
I want Smithsonian, and a host of Military History mags I keep finding at the store.
I will probably never get them, but it’s fun to fantasize!
Only Time. I was given a gift subscription one year and have kept renewing ever since. I did also subscribe to a local magazine called Farang, which later changed its name to Untamed Travel, but then it folded. It was a great magazine, too; many were sorry to see it go.
I have a subscription to The Economist, a major treat to myself because it is so damned pricey, but otherwise I have only the vaguest idea of what’s going on in the world outside my village.
All Peace Corps volunteers get a free subscription to Newsweek, which…well, let’s just say I use them for starting fires in my wood-burning stove.
I usually buy National Geographic BG, too, for practicing my Bulgarian and for all the great pictures of animals. I cut them out and paste them to stiff paper to use as flashcards in class. My students know the English words for like, every animal now.
Wow…thanks for the tip on magazines with Delta miles, Driver8. I have a bunch of miles, but not enough to use for anything but…subscriptions.
They have Eating Well, which I’ve been meaning to subscribe to for ages now. Need to check out exactly how many miles I have. I might be able to get my brother a few subscriptions too.
As for me:
Garden Solutions (what elelle said) - I think that’s my only magazine subscription right now; I was oversubscribing and underreading for a long time
Columbus Dispatch
Pick up more and less regularly, but don’t subscribe:
Eating Well
Garden Design
Fine Gardening
Cooking Light
Saveur
Martha Stewart Living (she has very cool gardening stuff from time to time)
Receive due to memberships:
AAA
MSU Alumni Magazine
Phi Beta Kappa Key Reporter
Am considering The Economist and Smithsonian…
I cycle through a bunch of publications online: NY Times, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, Der Spiegel, Mental Floss. I’m intrigued by several that are mentioned here, but not sure if I really have time… (Anyone want to replace my income so that I can stay home and read and garden between the traveling?)
GT
Time magazine since the 50s. (Maybe that’s why I’m so biased :rolleyes: )
National Geographic until a couple years ago. I quit because it’s become too pops. I used to go in second hand bookshops and buy pre-war issues. Those were fascinating!
Lots of specialized scientific periodicals.
Here’s a tip on how to see which of your magazines are selling your name to junk-mail senders. Each time you subscribe to something, give yourself a different middle initial: John A. Smith, John B. Smith, etc. Then you can tell by seeing which middle initial appears on your junk mail.
Tea Time
British Heritage
Realm (on trial; I don’t know if I’ll continue it)
Smithsonian
Preservation (comes with the National Trust membership)
EntWkly of course
WORLD (Christian conservative newsmag)
Sacred Name Messenger (free from the Assemblies of Yahweh, kinda like a
really cheaply done The Plain Truth)
TIME
Now- if I had the funds I’d also subscribe to
Newsweek
US News & World Report
Biblical Archaeological Review
Christianity Today
FATE (the old paranormal mag)
After Dark (the Coast to Coast AM mag)
The New American (Bircher newsmag)
