What Magazines Do You Subscribe To?

[Placebo]

What magazines do you subscribe to?

I subscribe to The Nation (obviously), MacAddict, Interview, and that's about it! :)

[DS1]

1. American Preposition - Come Hang with us

:7

[parasim]

2. The Progressive

... well, I also get Wired, but that's only because I felt sorry for the guy that came to my door and wanted to help go on a trip or some such thing... I actually don't really like Wired much any more.

I've been meaning to get a subscription to The Nation.

[madmax]

3. The Nation and Hightower's newsletter

Sometimes, I'll pick up Economist or TNR.

[JohnKleeb]

4. well

Sports Illistrated, Playstation Magazine, Rolling Stone.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. None

I read them all on line

The Nation

Newsweek

US News

[shraby]

6. Discover and read Scientific American

from the library. I get my reading material from the library cause I can't stand to throw books/magazines away.

[VOX]

7. The New Yorker, and the Cornell University Veterinary School Newsletter...

and that's it. Even these two periodicals have most of their content available online.

I do most of my reading online now.

[Placebo]

8. I Guess I am Just Old Fashioned...

I love to have what I am reading in my hands, and to know it's mine.

Same reason I never go to the library.

[JohnKleeb]

10. are you conversely more a fan of bookstores

because I like going to the bookstore and buying books a lot because I just love the feel of a new book. Yeah, I am compulsive though I love going to the library during lunch.

[Placebo]

11. I buy most of my stuff online actually.

Amazon.com is my lover.

[JohnKleeb]

36. amazon.com is sweet shit man

[Droopy]

9. None

The only thing I read is DU and the occasional newspaper.

[Placebo]

12. you should read more than that!

it's fun! :)

[Droopy]

18. I can't concentrate on long articles or books

I start them but I just can't finish them. Even some of the longer posts here at DU I don't read. It's not something that's always been that way. It's just been like that since I started taking some new medication. It's an unfortunate side affect, but the upside is that the meds work really well on my symptoms.

[catbert836]

13. Time and The Economist.

[Gothic Sponge]

14. Modern Necrophilia

[Philostopher]

15. All of yours except 'Interview'

plus 'In These Times,' 'Harper's,' and 'Washington Monthly.'

The Mr. gets offered trial subscriptions through something else he subscribes to, so we also have copies of 'New York Review Of Books' lying around.

Used to sub to 'Utne Reader,' but I think we let that lapse.

Our dining room table looks like we're sponsoring Burning Man in our house this year -- we could make one hell of a GWB effigy!

We don't throw them away. One of us (and it's not me) is a pack-rat, so we not only subscribe to half a dozen magazines (we also get Rolling Stone and Spin), but we never get rid of any of them. Our house looks like a liberal doctor's waiting room.

[ikojo]

23. nownow, I am also a packrat...although I am TRYING to remedy

that. I wish more mags would go digital so I could keep them on my hard drive. I would so subscribe to Harpers, Atlantic, Nation, etc if they would provide pdf files of their magazines. I don't mind reading stuff on my computer.

Some schools have large recycling bins for magazines. Supposedly the school gets money based upon the weight of stuff collected.

I have also freecycled old magazines. The one time I did this the woman who picked them up thanked me. They were mostly political magazines with a liberal bent. I was hoping she was not with Homeland Security (only joking...partially)

[Philostopher]

27. We're talking serious packrat tendencies, here.

Somewhere in this house, I do not at all doubt that we have computer hobbyist magazines from the era when a Commodore 64 was state of the art.

On the bright side, all that paper makes great insulation!

I remember going through my old stack of music magazines when I got married the first time, and moved out of my parents' house. I made scrapbooks (Zoroaster knows where they all are now, but ...) of the articles I wanted and pitched the rest.

I'm a turtle, though. I've gone on 'pitching sprees' before, usually at times in my life when I'm going through some kind of emotional trauma, when the 'little stuff' seems really little. I've just had to come to accept that for some people, old magazines, newspapers, circulars and such aren't 'little stuff,' that's all. It still doesn't make sense to me on any level other than the academic, but you know ... if it's one of the few complaints I have about my husband, I'm a very lucky woman!

I come from a family of packrats, as does he, so I doubt he'll ever change. We'll just have to move into a bigger house, eventually, not because the house is too small for the mammals that live in it, but because it's no longer adequate to store all the books and publications.

[ikojo]

52. George Carlin had something to say about this....

"We'll just have to move into a bigger house, eventually, not because the house is too small for the mammals that live in it, but because it's no longer adequate to store all the books and publications."

He said we buy bigger houses just to put more stuff.

I know about packrat tendancies. I hope that should I get married, I don't marry a packrat! That would not be good.

[JohnKleeb]

26. I was subscribed to National Geographic for the longest time

Great photos.

[ncrainbowgrrl]

28. Mother Jones.

I don't usually do the magazine subscription thing, but having found an offer for a year's worth of issues for $10, I signed on the dotted line happily.

Um. *blush* We also have a subscription to not-quite-so -PG rated magazine. Again- great deal.

I like reading Reason magazine when I get my hands on a free copy, and IFC rant is a great way of finding out which indy flicks I should add to my netflix queue

[Trish]

29. Harper's, New Republic

Though I'm thinking of changing New Republic for either The Nation, The Economist, or Atlantic Monthly....any suggestions?

[Lydia Leftcoast]

49. The Economist is really expensive, and

takes a British conservative view of the world, but it's good if you need to be conversant with the names of government officials in obscure countries--as translators do.

I used to subscribe to the Atlantic, but it's gotten more and more stuck in the conventional wisdom rut.

The Nation has its moments, but the quality is uneven.

[mrbassman03]

30. Yeah, MacAddict!

Probably not the place to say so, but Mac users rule!

[Dukkha]

31. Barely Legal

a magazine for Lawyer Interns

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

55. OK - why is this not recognized as the funniest post ever?

I am dissapointed with you DUers!

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

59. No - thank you

cracked me up :thumbsup:

[BlueStateGirl]

32. National Geographic, Shape, Vogue, Washington Monthly.

[tibbir]

33. I recently subscribed to The Progressive.

Because of Salon re-up I also receive US News but I can barely stand to flip through it because it pisses me off.

[OnionPatch]

34. UTNE Reader

is the only somewhat political magazine I get. I read most of my news analysis, etc. online.
Other magazines I get:

Mother Earth News
Organic Gardening
Backpacker

[mairceridwen]

[sasquatch]

37. Sports Illustrated

Rick Reilly is fuckin' awesome

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

38. Harper's

Used to subscribe to a lot more but a number of them folded - Spy, Whole Earth Review, Trouser Press (dating myself now). Stopped subscribing to Utne Reader, Atlantic Monthly, Dirty Linen, don't remember why - probably just never got around to reading them. Stopped subscribing to Communication Arts, just too pricey. Bought Gnosis off the newsstand, that's gone too. I buy MacAddict sometimes, and Juxtapoz, and the Economist, and Psychotronic...but only sometimes.

I'll never give up my Harper's subscription. It's the best.

[Kellanved]

The c't (Magazine for Computer Technology), the ix (Magazine for professional IT), Die Zeit (Highbrow Weekly, technically not a magazine), die Titanic (Onion equivalent), Der Spiegel.

Wildlife Conservation, and a few scientific journals but they aren't really magazines.

[miss_kitty]

41. FAIR, and CJR

On Edit: I buy Gardens Illustrated every month. In fact, my news agent is holding a copy for me right now!

[TXDemGal]

42. My list

The Funny Times (sanity saving during the Smirk Regime).

The American Scholar (but this may have to go now that Anne Fadiman, editor extraordinaire, has been canned).

The Other Side (a progressive Christian mag based in Philly).

Dozens of technical mags that come into the house via my husband's subscriptions and which I'm frequently after him to read or they'd quickly take up every square inch of living space.

At various times I used to take Harper's, Mother Jones, Utne Reader, The American Prospect, Poetry, DoubleTake and others that I can no longer remember.

[Onceuponalife]

43. oh yes!

The Nation, Mother Jones, Hightower Lowdown, Church and State, Intelligence Report, Playboy, Free Inquiry, Extra (FAIR)
