Which magazines do you subscribe to? - Page 2

Forgot one.

I also get National Wildlife, or whatever the magazine that comes with a membership to the National Wildlife Federation is called.

I joined for the "adventurers bag" (a khaki map-case type bag that has a little mesh holder for a water bottle on the side). They also keep me in address labels. And holiday cards. And lovely recycled gift-wrap. I assume they have to be losing money on me somewhere in there.

My H has gotten Playboy for 10 years we have never paid for it. I am so predictable but I only get an online magazine called thedogpress.com Mostly because I write articles for them.

I am really quite surprised at the number of subscriptions here.

Mr. Clod gets Fine Woodworking, and that's it. We get nothing else in print, and nothing online. For a long time I was being sent Game Developer magazine for free, but they eventually stopped a couple years ago.

Hey there Morgan

Welcome to the Cellar!

I don't subscribe to magazines anymore. The only subscriptions I've ever paid for were for Time, National Geographic, Wired, and Maxim.

I get a whole ton of computer industry magazines, but I get those for free.

In light of my earlier comments this made me laugh: May 2002 PVPOnline.

toranokaze · 11-11-2009, 03:11 PM

I just get C&E.

monster · 11-11-2009, 03:29 PM

We also get an annual free publication from the IRS..... it's a sort of math puzzle thing.... and you send it in and sometimes you get a cash prize, but other times they want $$ for their so-called "free" magazine

My mom paid for something like 3 years in advance of Family Circle and Woman's Day, so I'm getting the rest of her subscription. Just didn't seem worth the effort of canceling it, and it's a reminder of my mom.

I find most women's magazines kind of dull - feature articles are like "duh . . . most sensible people already know that," you know? And they're recycled fluff, what the industry calls "evergreen" articles because they're always in demand. That's one reason why I quit writing freelance feature articles; it felt disingenuous because the only type of articles I was really qualified to write based on life experience were in magazines I didn't want to read! Well, that and the fact they're really rude to writers and don't pay shit.

I get Time and Reader's Digest on the Kindle. Also get Writer's Digest in print. WD went downhill for a while catering to amateur fluff, but has improved a lot recently.

My son gets the Lego magazine, Boy's Life, and USA Wrestling. Daughter doesn't want anything regular but sometimes gets some teen girl type mags from the school library. Husband doesn't read.

There are lots of mags I'd get if I had more time to read them. The New Yorker is one, also I really dig Mental Floss.
