danasgoodstuff Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 New York Review of Books (the most literate thing out there, IMHO) Turning Wheels (Studebaker Drivers Club rag, surprisingly good if somewhat narrow) Classic [moter]Bike (again somewhat specialized, but v. good) Scottish Life (neoJacobist, which makes it nearly as reactionary as some of our posters here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BERIGAN Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 (edited) This one's got "bathroom-reading" written all over it ; I mean , where better to bone up on porcelain insulators than in the 'porcelain library' Gee, never seen a purple one!!! We just have some clear ones, and perhaps a green one, I think..... Heh,heh, you said bone up! Well, it does look like a bit phallic, don't it???

BeBop Posted September 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Two years on, I thought I'd resurrect this thread. I still subscribe to an outrageous number of magazines and enjoy them all. Since this thread was started, a few have died (Portfolio, Seed) a couple have gone to h*ll (Atlantic) and there are some new ones out. So, what're you reading?

carnivore Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 I gave up on the Atlantic and the New Republic some time ago.

Agree on The Week and Newsweak. Another that's really gone to h*ll is US News and World Report. That subscription won't be renewed. On the other hand, Business Week seems at least as good under Bloomberg. It ain't the Economist, but what is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like there was a price hike, but my enthusiasm level didn't rise proportionately. And, again, unusually for me, I didn't miss it.

GA Russell Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 All this said, magazines are by far the heaviest part of my luggage. BeBop, have you considered getting an eBook reader? There are a number of magazines available for it, including America's best selling short story magazine, Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. I subscribe to Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, and one good thing about it is that there is no reason to throw an issue away until you have read it all. My nephew gave me a subscription to Culture Wars Magazine, which is certainly different. The premise is that Western culture was better when Christians ruled the day during the Middle Ages and the Rennaissance, and most issues are devoted to how the most influential non-Christians of the last two hundred years have been bad influences.
