What magazines do you read and like?

Recommended Posts

Just got a thing from my airline that I'll get tons of miles etc if I order magazines through them. So I'm looking at new ones...

My subs:

New York
New Yorker
Entertainment Weekly
US (For work only, I swear.)
Runner's World
Cycling
Triathlete
Parachutist
Skydiving
Fortune
Forbes
Playboy
Muscle and Fitness
TWICE (This Week In Consumer Electronics)
Crain's New York Business
Cosmo/Glamour/17/Elle (I'm on their editor's list - I don't pay for them)
Men's Health
GQ
Details
Maxim


What else is there that I should be reading?

I travel CONSTANTLY. I bring them on the plane, read them, rip out worthwhile articles, then leave them on the plane for the next person. And I kinda have to - I work in PR - I've gotta read a LOT of stuff. :(

That explains it: expense account! :)

Wouldn't books work better?




Sadly, no. I need to find out who's writing what on a daily basis. It's relatively annoying. :)

I used to have several subscriptions, mostly promos that I got with miles from airlines that I never fly, where I had a few orphaned miles that were never going to add up to anything.

But I ended up with piles and piles of unread magazines. I never did bump the subscriptions back up when I started traveling again.

So now I'm down to the stuff that comes based on my membership in certain groups (alumni magazines, and Parachutist), and two that I actually pay for: Skydiving and Entertainment Weekly.

Of course, I'm always excited to see brain candy like People or Oprah at the gym. :D

Which airline is running a promotion like that? I don't fly much, but I'm pretty close to having tickets on several different airlines. Could use any help I could get, especially since I was about to subscribe to a few magazines anyway!

outside and national geographic traveler are good

i don't know what happened to maxim, but about 6 months or so ago it started to really suck. it seems that it is mostly ads and even many articles are just thinly veiled ads. it hard to just flip through it because of all the thick paged ads.

American Rifleman, Guns and Ammo (Vskydiver's subscription), Air & Space, and National Geographic. We also get Cosmo for Teens in our mailbox, but I don't really read that one much.:D

In the break room at work there's always a bunch of boat, motorcycle, or flying mags around, so I get to read darn near everything. And Krisanne is right, there's nothing fluffier for the brain than a copy of People or Us.:S
