what magazines do you read/subscribe to?

While I'm a digital worker bee, my heart is in analog and I'm subscribing to some "real" magazines to read to try and keep up (beyond news.google.com). First on the list are The Economist and The New Yorker. A friend also highly recommends Foreign Affairs.

What comes in your mailbox (hopefully not the postman)?

I don't subscribe to any, too many ads, too little "meat" for me...

to me the best read is the Wall Street Journal.

On the car side all I really need is Car & Driver. I really like Car&Driver. I get Panorama through PCA but flip and toss it in less than 10 minutes. I do the same with my regional PCA newsletter. It's not that they're not good, I just don't take the time to read them. I had Excellence for a while but I couldn't act on 10% of the cool things I read about. I liken it to someone who makes an average US salary subscribing to millionare magazine (if there is such a thing).

For a while I enjoyed This Old House but it became a frustrating exercise since my project list kept getting longer, not shorter so I stopped that one.

None. I'd rather be doing things than sit and read. Heck, I only put aside a few minutes a day to read this site, unless I can't sleep.

I got piles of good books stacking up around my house so I stopped getting magazines.

I did enjoy Excellence, and a couple of audio magazines for a while, I think I am still getting table talk.

I normally stop at the library every other week and pick up a few months of what I'm interested at the time. Stay regular on Car & Driver, Flying, Kiplingers. My wife got me a subscription to Cycle when no one 'adopted' it for the library. The AMA mag and numerous trade journals come to the shop but about the only way I can read them is to take them home.

My wife works at a library so she gets really good professional rates. We also change them up a little every year.

My wife was interviewing for a new librarian a while back with some of her coworkers. After the interview they asked if he had any question for them. He said he wanted to know what magazines they took. When my wife mentioned Playboy, she said he looked pleased .

Excellence - love it
Pano - basically automotive Playboy - look at the pictures, skip the articles
Local PCA chapter magazine - VERY well done, always a great read, and often pics of my car!
Macleans - Canadian version of Time
The Walrus - sort of a Canadian New Yorker, but a bit more literary

My wife's grandmother, bless her heart, keeps giving us gift subscriptions to Reader's Digest.
