I don't think we've had a thread like this recently, if at all. I was just wondering what magazines you all buy, how often you buy them (rarely, occasionally, all the time, subscriber), etc. I was going to create a poll but that'd be way too many choices!

Me personally, I've just fallen in love with a magazine called Real Simple. It has great tips, helpful information and it's not just fluff - I've decided that when I move in 2 weeks, I'm subscribing to it.

I usually buy Glamour and Cosmopolitan, but I try not to because I think it can be silly at times.

Who's next?

I get Sunset, which is my favorite, it's about Western living and travel, great food tips etc. I also get The New Yorker and Newsweek.

When I do buy magazines/journals (more of a book reader), I pick up one of these... Utne, Psychology Today, Ms., Cat Fancy, Scoot Quarterly, Oprah, National Geographic or Readers Digest.

Depends on my mood, and what I feel like putting in my brain at that moment in time.

For the first time in ages, I did pick up one trashy magazine recently simply because there were shirtless photos of Matthew McConaughey inside
(thanks to my Aries rising!
)

Oh my mother used to get Reader's Digest and I used to love reading them. Maybe I should add that to my subscription wish-list.

I have subscriptions to Glamour and Cosmopolitan.

Occasionally I will pickup another that looks interesting at the grocery check out.

I like Cosmopolitan if I'm in the mood for some silliness, I like Shape if I need to be motivated to get off my butt and excersize, I like the true stories in Reader's Digest, I guess it just depends on my mood!

I no longer subscribe to any magazines, as I often just let them stack up without reading them. When I want to read a magazine now, I just pull out a copy of one of the quilting magazines I've saved over the years. The quilts are just as good now as they were five years ago.

I don't subscribe to any magazines, but regularly buy City Life (about what's happening in Manchester Music, Art, Performance etc) I also like to read - but don't often buy - Flux, Sleazenation, Dazed and Confused. (quite contemporary magazines regarding the art/music.... world)

I'd love to buy them more often, but because they are glossy and some only available from the galleries, they are a little out of budget!

I haven't bought a magazine in AGES!! But I used to buy Cosmo, Glamour, Shape or Self magazine.

Ari - I checked out 'Real Simple' when I was in Borders the other week and it look really cool!!! I should've bought the issue I saw, but I didn't. Maybe next time.

I forgot that I also subscribe to Conde Nast Traveler and Southern Living. So, five subscriptions. No wonder I don't have time to read them

I have Readers Digest on subscription and I also buy the occasional scrapbook magazine.Depending on what they advertise on the cover, I buy Better Homes and Gardens. As for New Idea, Who and ones like it, I read them when I stand in line at the super market as some times it takes ages to get through the checkout.
