_Book_? Haven’t heard of that one. Doesn’t appear to be in my 1999 Writer’s Market either. Do you have info about them (website, address, something like that)?

Thanks!

Here you go, David –

[http://www.bookmagazine.com](http://www.bookmagazine.com) – phone 800-317-BOOK.

Bi-monthly, $20 a year.

Tidbits in the latest issue are “first novels you shouldn’t have missed”, articles on Stephen Ambrose, Sherman Alexie, and Larry McMurtry and his hometown bookstores. And lots of reviews. Great magazine, I think.

Subcribe to SKEPTIC and Vanity Fair. Don’t bother with on-line mags, yet.

I currently have subscriptions to:  
**Sports Illustrated

Newsweek**

About the only ones I check out on-line are sports related and usually only during football season (okay, I’m a fantasy football geek - sue me!)

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me to see so many of the same titles.

Subscribe to:  
Atlantic Monthly  
Discover  
National Geographic  
Skeptical Inquirer  
Scientific American (the titles always seem so interesting but the articles make my little head hurt)

Wife gets:  
Sky and Telescope  
Astronomy Today (or something like that)

Kids get a bunch along the lines of Spider, Cricket, Discover Jr., Muse, Boys Life, American Girl, and probably a couple others.

Regularly read:  
The Reader  
New City  
The Onion  
(all well worth the price!)

A friend gives me his old Smithsonians

Allowed all my martial arts subscriptions to lapse.

On occasions when I am at the gym and just sitting on a bike or treadmill, I pick up SI or complete trash like People, Entertainment Weekly, Details.

And I never fail to check out WWN when in the checkout line. Was a faithful subscriber when in college.

On-line I’m either here or on a few JKD forums.

Nothing online, really. I might read individual articles or whatever, but not an entire online rag. The closest that comes is probably [Suck](http://www.suck.com).
