I'm bored and I've been looking through the old threads and was reading the Favorite Books thread and thought we should have a magazine thread.

For me, some of my favorites are....

Fantasy Mags (Depending on the season)
Sporting News
Sports Illustrated
Gaming Mags (My nerdy side :wink: )
Time
Newsweek (Their only writer that is really talented, though, is Fareed Zakaria)
The Onion

My favorite magazine, though, would have to be Foreign Affairs. They have some of the top political analysts in the United States writing for them. They used to have Zakaria, but they still have good guys in Markey and Larrabe. It was there that Samuel P. Huntington first published his "Clash of Civilizations" theory. In the current issue they have full essays from Obama and Romney. I strongly suggest at least thumbing through the issue, for it gives a good idea of what the candidates stand for.


So, what are you guys' favorite mags?


Note: Unless you read Playboy for the articles, that doesn't count. :wink: :lol:

I don't really buy magazines much. Usually the only time I have to read during the week is at night before bed......when I'm usually on PR. :D When I do buy a magazine it is almost always something to do with Home Decor or repair/fix up tips. ...boring, eh?

Whatever is in the dentist's office, or recently, the 'knee' Dr.
I particularly like the ones with the pages ripped out.

All kidding aside....Kiplinger magazine and whatever is in the checkout aisle.

Well, I started getting Rolling Stone in the mail about a year ago. Never paid for it, but now they are sending me invoices for it. A few of my friends also started getting this mag out of the blue. We wonder if those of us who bought Jimmy Buffet tix for last years show at Alpine had something to do with it. Anyhow, I admit, I am a celeb gossip junkie... I read People, US Weekly and a magazine called Home, which is more advertising than anything else. Expains the $6.00 a year subscription rate, lol.

I used to have a subscription to Maxim. Its a pretty good magazine, kind of a "toned down" playboy I guess. About half way through the subscription though, I just started stacking em up in the bathroom, rather than read em right away. Great way to pass the time, lol.

I also used to buy magazines like Computer Power User, and a few gaming magazines, but it seemed like a complete waste of money since I can find any of the same info that they provide, on-line with a few easy searches.

I will still pick up an issue of Mens Health every now and then, or a magazine that is about the same, but only if I have already paged through it, and found an article about working a certain muscle or muscle group, in a way that I had not thought to try yet.
