Do you subscribe to magazines?

I also have an OCDish problem with throwing them away, especially Artforum because I like looking at all the colorful spines lined up together.

xp - I LOVE Travel & Leisure but it I'm not sure what it would be like to actually, you know, pay for.

new yorker
gourmet
entertainment weekly

i wish there were more good magazines out there these days!

burritos

I could stick a few in a padded envelope with some ngiri and a couple of dumplings.

ha, I'm not sure if these are still an SF thing!

Oh, and my sister got me a subscription to Bookmarks at xmas! That won't start until March.

i want

Artforum is big, heavy, expensive, kind of boring to read at times, has a heavy emphasis on the contemporary art/gallery scene. Is, in its own way, almost as boring as the other status mags (Art in America, Artnews) only more appealing to thirtysomething yuppies instead of boomer yuppies.

My favorite art mag right now is Art on Paper, when I can find it.

the economist
harpers
atlantic monthly

I still love magazines

probably going to subscribe to The New Yorker soon

Vanity Fair though I'm regretting it with every new issue lately

I only subscribe to Decibel currently

does anyone read Interview? i'm loving the celeb-orientated stuff but there's so much fashion bullshit i'm a little hesitant. also it just gives me a real "women's only" vibe.

Just was given a subscription to The New Yorker for my birthday, really excited about this!

awesome!

i just started this too! we're getting vf and harper's and the new yorker if i get my act together and order it.

some subs are so insanely cheap

new yorker subscription is something i can never imagine stopping, still amazes me they can put it out (almost) every week

my last magazine subscription was to gourmet (r.i.p.), but i've been thinking of subscribing to metropolis or good. it's nice to get real mail.

i've thought about getting saveur but i never read the food magazines or cookbooks i already own.

as far as other stuff, my bf and i get alumni magazines (binghamton and usc for me, macalester and calarts for him), i get a magazine from my toastmasters membership, and he gets something from the musician's union. up until last year, i got planning and japa, an academic planning journal.

Cabinet magazine makes me so happy

i get mother jones at the moment. good stuff.

i spent a long time weighing up whether or not to subscribe to the new yorker, b/c it is an international subscription & so more expensive (though still a steal & an awesome investment), and after all my detailed financial considerations i would seriously pay them $500 to mail it first class instead of second.

but yes magazines are great, subscribed ones & newsstand ones.

been wanting to check out lucky peach too:

haaaa one of those magazine subscription scam artists just came to my door. i told him i was broke and he went away, but not without a smooth-talking spiel.

My sister got me a gift subscription to Rolling Stone for the last two Xmases running! This year (without being an asshole about it) I'm gonna tell her thanks-but-no-thanks - I don't give a shit about their music coverage anymore (20 years ago woulda been OK); all I like nowadays is the political stuff.

(But yeah: in principle I like getting something to read in the mail every two weeks.)

I get New Yorker and Decibel now. And I guess technically I subscribe to SPIN, but via my Nook for only 50 cents an issue.

Anyone else get magazines in the mail that they didn't subscribe to? We get a bunch of them like Good Housekeeping, Reader's Digest, Oprah?!?! and a few other ones. I guess they send them out so they can claim their circulations are larger than they really are, but we never paid for them. I usually cut my name off them and leave them on the bus or train.

yeah, we kept getting Self sent to us for no reason

Did we ever sort these magazines
