Do you read magazines? Which ones?
Julie:
When I was a teenager I read all the magazines. You know, Teen, YM, Seventeen. For a while I read Cosmo. I more recently used some expiring airline miles to get the smart magazines, like Time, and Parents. But dude, who has time to read magazines? If I read, I prefer my novels. ha. So I just have piles of magazines lying around and eventually getting thrown out.
Lynn:
Unlike Julie, I’m pro magazine. I’m always tempted by their shiny covers while I’m waiting in line at the store. What I like most is the shortness of most articles. I can read an article in between other activities, at one sitting, put it down, and not worry about forgetting where I was in the plot.
I subscribe to Entertainment Weekly. Ok, sure, I’m usually a couple of issues behind. But I read them, front to back.
How about you? Do you read magazines? Which ones?
I’ve been a long time subscriber to Enterainment Weekly! 🙂 I read it front to back most weeks as well, Lynn.

I don’t really read magazines either. I used to get a couple of writing magazines, but I found that I never got around to reading them. So now I stick to books.

I love magazines — always have — for much the same reasons as Lynn said. Also, for me, a magazine is a mindless read. So much of what I read has to be read critically, and I have to remember and pay attention. With a magazine, I am not obligated to evaluate a thingg! And I love to have fluffy breaks. Right now, I am down to just two subscriptions of my own (Oprah and Redbook), but I swap with several friends and get several others in the rotation (Smithsonian, Runners World, Time, Texas Monthly).

Swapping is a good idea, Kristine. Some of those magazines are expensive!
I read InStyle, HGTV, maybe a People while in line at the grocery store. I also am a fan of journals. The Science Teacher, Scientific American, stuff that applies more to my professional life.
I completely forgot about journals, Michelle. Good point!
