Man I've signed up twice now to access the digital edition and archives with my subscription, but every time I try to log in it claims my email address is not recognized. Super annoying.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 10 January 2012 14:37 (twelve years ago) link
If you sign up to the ipad edition, you have to sign up ~again~ to get archive access. If you are not talking about the ipad edition plz ignore.
― unflushed deuce (Schlafsack), Tuesday, 10 January 2012 21:57 (twelve years ago) link
archive interface is so awful its basically not worth it anyway
― lag∞n, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 17:42 (twelve years ago) link
i think there's one login/pw for the nyer site, then another for the archives? also, the archives only work for me on ie.

On the ipad I find an article, take screenshots and read those from the camera roll.

Man, Yakuza obsessive and oil company lawsuit would both make great movies.

I can't remember the last NYer issue in which I read four feature articles (those two, plus the Gingrich and Rubio profiles).
― Bon Ivoj (jaymc), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:02 (twelve years ago) link
Man, I read every issue from cover to cover. Ok, well I skip Shouts and Murmurs sometimes. And the poems.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:07 (twelve years ago) link
xpost I was thinking the very same thing with this issue! I mean, I want to read everything, generally, but this may be the first in a while where I actually read four articles before the next issue arrived: Gingrich, Yakuza, Chevron and Rubio. The quadfecta!
― Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:13 (twelve years ago) link
(I always skip the fiction)
I feel like if I read every issue cover-to-cover, I'd never read anything else.
― Bon Ivoj (jaymc), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:13 (twelve years ago) link
^^^ that's what i was doing for awhile and finally gave up. like why am i reading this joan acoella dance review rather than one of the 20 books i've bought in the past year and never read.
― Moreno, Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:16 (twelve years ago) link
Lately it's rare for there to be more than one thing I really want to read.
― Oh shit, that's my bone! (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:21 (twelve years ago) link
i read every issue cover to cover BUT: only in the bathroom or on iPadand I'm always about three months behindnot in the bathroomon the magazine
― Beezow Doo Doo Zopittybop-Bop Bop (forksclovetofu), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:24 (twelve years ago) link
yeah unless it's something i really couldn't care less about i'll pretty much read all the features, talk of the towns, critics essays, etc. i mostly skip the fiction and always skip shouts and murmurs

I just finished the Chevron feature -- it's Bleak House meets The Verdict.
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 11 January 2012 23:57 (twelve years ago) link
i'm usually pretty thorough, apart from the fiction and the non- book/music/film reviews. might skip some of the latter talk of the town pieces and shouts & murmurs. if i haven't finished it by the time the next one arrives, tho, i'm done.
it's bad enough letting nyrbs pile up -- and i'm better about skipping stuff -- can't do it with the nyer too
― mookieproof, Thursday, 12 January 2012 00:14 (twelve years ago) link
at least the NYRB publishes every few weeks and I can dispatch it at lunch.

Oh god I have such a NYer pile problem, which is now being exacerbated by the spouse's Atlantic pile problem.

When we moved last summer (2011) I made myself throw away everything pre-2010, and it still haunts me that I had dog-earred so many articles that I will now never read :(

atlantic is only 10 times a year!

you did the right thing (see holidays at home thread for full hoarding horror stories)

I do sigh with relief when The New Yorker publishes one of its biweekly editions.
― lumber up, limbaugh down (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 12 January 2012 00:35 (twelve years ago) link
This is a publisher that persists with diaereses in the 21st century so
― Autumn Almanac (Schlafsack), Thursday, 12 January 2012 00:40 (twelve years ago) link
i had to throw out a year's worth when i was moving once, i was mainly mad that it was just going _to waste_, because they're a good thing to just give away or leave for people to have in their bathrooms or w/e
