what's your Favorite Magazine?

[peacebird]

The Progressive
The Nation
and Mother Jones are my must reads...

With Utne Reader, Audobon and CycleSport rounding out the top of the list.....

What are your monthly "must reads"?

and what do you do with the magazines when you have read them?

[Metta]

1. The Nation.

I pass them along to my massage guy and to one of my friends when I'm done.

[ghostsofgiants]

2. Found, Vice, Arkitip

I love art/culture magazines.

[RetroLounge]

3. I have a few

Poets and Writers
Model Railroader
Trains

RL

[Odin2005]

4. Discover.

Nature and Science are also good, but are much more technical.

[flvegan]

5. Herbivore, VegNews, Satya, E, Flex and Muscle and Fitness

Jesus, I'm weird.

[Cobalt Violet]

9. I like Hers by Muscle and Fitness most months.

For a women's magazine it's pretty good. This month's issue sucked though, too much fashion. Usually they are more fitness oriented.

[flvegan]

11. I hear you.

Sometimes M&F is too "Men's Health" and more about fashion, lifestyle and what's cool to buy.

Have you checked out Oxygen? I, myself, don't care so much for Robert Kennedy, considering some of the trash that gets put in Musclemag Int'l in regards to women, but I hear it's a valid publication.

[Cobalt Violet]

13. I didn't realize that about M&F.

I haven't checked out Oxygen but I'll be sure to now. Thanks.

[flvegan]

14. No problem. I'm hoping

that at some point Steve Blechman's group (Muscular Development) puts out a periodical geared towards women. More of a no bs, "here's the reality and deal with it" kind of thing. Doubt it'll happen as it's a small market.

[Cobalt Violet]

16. Your right, it's a very small market.

Hers is only 6 issues a years and I think it's struggling with that. I don't even think it is available by subscription, any issue could be the last.


It would be nice to have something like you talked about even if it was bi-annually.

[zonkers]

6. Ranger Rick.

[smokey nj]

7. Guns n'Ammo & Soldier of Fortune.......

Just kidding!!!! The Nation is my favorite, and when I'm done, I keep them for future reference.

[ikojo]

8. The Nation

Harpers
Atlantic Monthly
Tikkun
Scoot! Quarterly
Scootering

That's about it.

[scoey1953]

10. New Type USA....

What other magazine gives you a free DVD with each issue???

Free pull out posters
Free Manga
and a chance to win Free stuff each month.

THIS IS THE BEST ANIME MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD.


My second favorite is GIRLPOP, but they have stopped printing them.
Not sure why. This magazine featured some of the top Jpop bands coming
out of Japan, Like HIGH AND MIGHTY COLOR featured on this cover;

[sarge43]

12. Smithsonian and Harpers

Both always have at least one terrific article

Give them aways to friends

[Cobalt Violet]

15. I like a few.

I like salon trade magazines: American Salon, Modern Salon.

Some art ones like Art in America.

Any vegetarian magazine.

[FuzzySlippers]

17. I get "The New Yorker" and "The Atlantic".

Being a pack rat, I just let 'em pile up.

[NNadir]

18. I don't have any "must read" magazines, but I still like to read...

...Scientific American. I also love the New Yorker still, although the greatest years are probably passed.

Discover isn't half bad for public science news sometimes.

I don't know that I'd call it a magazine exactly, though it's on the magazine rack, but there's a beautiful little publication called "New American Paintings," which shows interesting art work from regions in the country.

It shows paintings like this:

[Arugula Latte]

19. Don't laugh, but I like "Oprah"

It's a good mix of fluff and substance. She has terrific writers like Annie Lamott contributing. Plus, it always features an inspirational woman (someone fighting for human rights in a terribly oppressed country, for example).

[lildreamer316]

26. I agree.

I actually got a subscription after I kept picking it up in doctors offices and then taking it home.
She does a decent job, really. I think it's a nice compromise between style and substance,as you said.I mean, I AM a girly-girl sometimes too!

[Pierre.Suave]

20. uhmm

car and driver, if I had to pick one.

[mvd]

21. The Nation

The Economist
Entertainment Weekly (don't always agree with the reviews, but that's true of any source)

[mitchum]

22. Harper's, New Yorker, The Wire

[WCGreen]

23. The New Yorker....

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Oh yeah and that's why I buy...

:evilgrin:

[liontamer]

32. i read that for the articles too.

(stories count as article, right?)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

33. They count as articles to me.

And it's quality literature in book form.

[Rabrrrrrr]

25. Christian Century, ArtForum, Honiletics, BBC Music Magazine

Most magazines get recycled after I read them. I ain't storing all that shit in my house. But the art magazines, and many of the Christian Centuries are kept.
