With all this “death of print” stuff talk finally becoming mainstream news, I thought I’d see if any of us actually still read print magazines.
Me? I generally don’t subscribe to anything—I used to belong to “Bizarre” and “Discover” a few years ago—but my wife recently got me a year-long membership to “Mental Floss,” and she’s signed-up with “The Atlantic” and “Cooking Light.” Her grandparents, out of misdirected love, no doubt, gave her a “Readers Digest” subscription as well.
What about you? Any magazine subscriptions you want to ‘fess up to?
Like some other people are known to do, I mostly sign other people up for subscriptions, but only things they are interested in and only if I am married to them. I found ridiculous good deals on Blender, Rolling Stone, Self and Shape and got them for my wife. I had subscribed to Consumer Reports for the last year but it recently lapsed and now I only have Entertainment Weekly and Shaved Beaver.
The New Yorker and National Geographic. Used to subscribe to more, but as I barely find the time to read those two (my faves), I cut all other subscriptions. Though my Dad sends me Prevention Mag, for some reason.

I also enjoy an adbusters every now and then, but couldnt imagine paying for it. Self-righteous little bourgie tools they are. i just read it at the co-op or greenlife.
Permaculture Activist is a good one too, oftentimes. Used to be published out of Earthhaven Black Mountain, although i believe it has moved to colorado?
