Magazine junkie...
I admit it --- I'm a magazine junkie. I love reading all kinds of magazines. Sure, I have my favorites, the ones I care so much about that I have to subscribe so I don't miss a single issue, but if all that's laying around is a copy of Popular Mechanics, I'll thumb through that, too.

Sometimes I'll purposely get in line at the grocery store behind someone with a whole bunch of stuff in their cart just so I can peruse the magazines in the racks.

My current list of must-haves:
  • Bark - the best dog mag there is. There's no way I can look at the "smiling dogs" pages they have every month and not get a grin.
  • Mother Jones - some of the most in-depth reporting of social and economic issues around
  • Prevention - 'cuz I'm middle-aged and getting creaky around the edges :o)
  • Birds and Blooms - I love them both
  • Better Homes and Gardens - so I can see how the other half lives
Any other junkies out there?

The Believer

Wired

McSweeney's

Yep... I'm geeky,  I should add a home and garden magazine to my list because I love getting my hands soiled by designing and creating new landscapes.

I am a junkie, I have subscribed to Parachutist  for 15 yrs and make sure I buy People and OK. I just love to see what the celebs are up to.

The MUST HAVES at our house are:

1. Rolling Stone

2. Organic Gardening

3. Funny Times

I also share subscriptions to The Sun, Mother Jones, and The New Yorker.  I too am not above perusing the "Grocery Store Rags", but will not put out money for them!

I subscribe to The New Yorker. I love the short stories, biographies and the political commentaries. I know that it's biased but I enjoy reading it. I always learn something new and interesting.
When I am at the local grocery store I am always tempted to buy a mindless magazine like People. I just can't bring myself to lower my standards and fork out the money but I'm not above reading People at the Dr. office. Yeah I can be a hypocrite.
