Reader’s Digest…I miss the old layout, but the content is still good IMHO. We also get Smithsonian. ---

My family gets _Time_ and _National Geographic_. We used to subscribe to _Newsweek_, _U.S. News and World Report_, and _Smithsonian_, but we just didn’t renew those subscriptions last year. I miss reading all three news magazines every week, but that’s okay. I myself used to have a subscription to _Flight Training_ for various reasons (though I’m not taking flight lessons at the moment), but that ended in October. Now I’m working on getting a subscription to _Scientific American_…maybe a Christmas present. ---

ScienceNews Auk And I buy BirdTalk. I vary the number of magazines I subscribe to - at some point I reach “paper overload” and just have to jettison some. The prodigal child in me returns to Sunset, Dog Fancy, and National Geographic every few years. ---

_Entertainment Weekly_ _Vanity Fair_ _Atlantic_ _Cook’s Illustrated_ _Archive_ (bimonthly roundup of the best of world advertising) And I don’t think my subscription to _Movieline_ has run out yet, but I wish it would. We’re going to subscribe to _Ready Made_ one of these days. I regularly buy several other magazines on the newsstand – _Bizarre_, _McSweeney’s_ and _The New Yorker_ in particular. (I’d drown in paper if I actually subscribed to TNY, but I get one or two issues a month.) And I sporadically buy other magazines as they strike my fancy. ---
