Steve’s “Open Question<\/a>” for this month<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

What magazines do you read? Do you subscribe, or pick them up at the store? Do you have favourites, or do you grab a copy on a whim? How long do you keep the magazines? Are there magazines you flip through but would never admit to owning? (keep it clean, though [grin])<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I subscribe to Smithsonian <\/em>(some excellent historical and “natural history” articles) and Consumer Reports <\/em>(I don’t always agree with them, and aren’t always interested in all of their subjects, but there’s almost always something I can find to read in there).  Oh, and Comic Buyers Guide <\/em>(all about the comic book biz, historically and present), almost forgot that one.  I subscribe to them because if I waited until I remembered to pick them up at the store, I’d almost never get them.<\/p>\n

I keep magazines … hmmmm … I’m an awful pack rat, but I am trying to get better.  All  the above get round-filed after reading.  Another reason I don’t subscribe to National Geographic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Regarding magazines I’ll read when  pressed — say, at a doctor’s office — I get a guilty pleasure out of flipping through the inanity in People <\/em>and Us<\/em>.  I enjoy the news blurbiness of Time <\/em>and Newsweek <\/em>(but wouldn’t read them regularly enough if I subscribed to them). And, in a crunch, popular mechanics and science and even “housewife” magazines will make do.  Gotta have something to read, man<\/a> …<\/p>\n
