I love to read magazines. Since I am editor for an electronics
trade magazine, I naturally read a lot of other electronics trade
magazines. The ones I currently get include Electronics,
Electronics Design, EDN, EE Times, EMC Technology, Compliance
Engineering, RF & Microwaves, RF Design, IEEE Spectrum,
Workstation News, Network World, and a couple of others. I also
get a couple of PC magazines, including PC Magazine, PC Week, and
I often read Home Office Computing at the library.
Before you all think I am a totally philistine, let me also point
out that I subscribe to a number of "normal" magazines, too. I
get The Atlantic, Esquire, American Heritage, Bicycle Guide, and
CQ (an amateur radio magazine). I used to subscribe to the Paris
Review, but I lapsed on that one. I also frequently check out
business magazines, like Inc. and Forbes, and other assorted
stuff, like Michigan History and Whole Earth Review.

We get Reader's Digest, National Geographic and the NG Traveler as Christmas
gifts from my parents and grandmother. I also read Gourmet, Bon Apetite,
Family Circle, Woman's Day, various other *women's* magazines if the cover
catches my eye, 2-3 SCA publications, QST and other Ham Radio mags that
STeve brings home, BYTE (when he gets it), Computer Shopper, any others that
I find lying around when I'm someplace and bored. (I am one of those people
that will read the back/sides of a cereal box if there is nothing else
available at the moment.)

If anyone has the last issue (#22) of Film Threat, I'd like to look at/borrow/
buy it. I missed it.
I can't believe you don't read Bicycling, Dan! No biker should be without it.
I read PC Week until I moved and they put me back on a waiting list, I
buy PC about half the time, various other computer mags at random, subscribe
to Bicycling Plus Mountain Bike, Playboy, Analog, momentarily Byte, Velo News,
and The Sporting News, but no longer, buy a hellacious amount of random mags,
USA Today's Baseball weekly, The Detroit New, The Free Press, the AA News
(though only half the time on the AA), The Observer...
I have too damned much paper in my life.

At home, I get:
Outside
Underwater USA
National Geographic
Years ago I used to get the Economist, which is my all time favorite
unmatchable by anyone else newsmagazine. It became too expensive so
they lost me as a customer.
At work, I get:
Frequent Flyer (an Official Airlines Guide publication)
and two monthly industry magazines that most, if not all, of you
would never have heard of.
I want to spend a few bytes letting you know about Outside. The magazine
has 1st rate writers, fabulous photography, and covers everything that
people do "outside." Hiking, backpacking, mountain climing, bike racing,
mountain biking, pan-am driving, rock climbing, marathon running, biatholon,
triathalon, scuba diving, boardsailing, laying on the beach, archeology,
biology, zoology...gads, the list is endless, eclectic, and very well done.
If you know writers, both David Quammen and Tim Cahill have regular columns.
Great stuff.

I feel left out. Now that my subscription to Scientific American has
expired, I don't get any magazines.

Every issue:
Folk Roots (music from England)
Dirty Linen (US folk-rock fanzine)
Washington Post Weekly Edition
Regularly, but I skip some issues:
Opera News, Opera Monthly
The New Republic
Newsweek
Consumers Reports
The Absolute Sound
Stereophile
Occasionally:
The Village Voice
Harper's
Option
CD Review
Sing Out
There's probably a few more I am forgetting. I used to be just awful
about accumulating magazines, but I cut out most of them except for the
music publications.
I also get a small but dwindling number of SF fanzines from old friends.

Ignoring the comic books and newspapers for the moment: Gourmet,
Food and Wine, Vegetarian Times, Chocolatier, Bon Appetit, Eating
Well, Playboy, the ABA Journal, the Michigan Bar Journal, PC Magazine,
PC Computing, Student Lawyer, the Wayne Law Review, the Harvard Journal
of Law and Public Policy Studies, Tournaments Illuminated, the Pale,
and about a zillion other newsletter-type things; I also sometimes
buy, but do not subscribe to, Ms., East West, The Animals' Agenda,
Scientific American, Cooking Light, and Newsweek.
(OK, I admit it, I'm a data geek.)

Work: Just about all Mac and PC computer mags
Home: Time, Consumer Reports, Premiere, The Comic Buyers Guide, Fangoria
Gorezone, Filmfax and Film Threat. Through some promotional gimmick, I've
been receiving issues of Esquire and "M", though I didn't order them.
Probably will start getting The Economist on a more regular basis.
Used to get Rolling Stone, but dropped it a few years ago and I don't
miss it. Also got Entertainment Weekly for the first promo weeks and
didn't like that, either.

Oh, yeah, I guess I have a subscription (so to speak) to the Michigan Bar
Journal, too.
I read Spy whenever I find it, and the Village Voice when I'm in the mood
for that.

I used to get about a hundred twenty photo magazines.
And I guess I should count the catalogs from Bike Nashbar and Performance,
but only because I get about 5 per week.

You can get triple A to STOP sending "Michigan Living"? Boyoboy, that
would be great, especially since Ken and I get two copies every month.
