Fav Magazines?

[Euphoriameantime]

I never buy magazines but my mother was in hospital recently so I had to buy some to keep her occupied & of course I scanned through them. Terrible waste of money IMO just full of advertising & air-brushed photos of wanna-be celebs.
I remember when magazines had short stories & books serialised & reviews and were worth the purchase price plus of course the recipies & knitting patterns.
My first introduction to Harold Robbins was in a mag my mother purchased with the shopping each week - I think it was 'Never Love a Stranger'.

I'd rather spend my hard earned EUR on a good book instead of a few pages of glossy mind-numbing rubbish.

Have you tried the "Stich and Bitch" collections of books. They have some really good patterns and how too. I tried so many times to knit in the round and just couldn't get it until I read one of these books.

I don't buy magazines (unless science journals count), I don't usually read them either. But I collect them from friends and family for crafty stuff.

I never use or read magazines, because they spread nothing but teenager celebrity, pointless gossip.

I could read something like Fangora, that was awesome.

Jacob, you can't actually believe that. There are plenty of good, useful, reputable magazines available. I personally subscribe to Everyday Food, eFiction Magaine and Parent's magazine, and they don't spread teenager celebrity, pointless gossip at all. Maximum PC is a great one for people inclined to the IT/IS profession. I agree that most magazines targeted at people your age do, but to condemn all mags is just wrong.

Meh, well there is nothing to my interest. I've spent quite a while trying to search for a magazine and the only one was Xbox 360 Updates, but then I fell off that. I only really like Fangora - that was awesome, I will keep searching (at least for something more resourcful.)

I don't agree. You can always find at least a couple articles from an interesting magazines.

I like the Bop magazine a lot. It tells you about all the famous music stars.

In my younger days it was COSMO/PEOPLE magazine for sure, then I graduated to the New Yorker, the National Review, etc...

Also, Cooking light, and Bon Appetit...occasionally a " home decorating / crafts / and Art magazines...

I havent read a magazine for years. I liked National Geographic and The Smithonian magazine and I had a long-running subscription to Galaxy and The Magazine Of Fantasy And Science Fiction. But that was years ago. I dont even know what magazines are out there anymore.

Forgot about The Smithsonian!...one of the most interesting places I'd ever visited...

[Bighuey]

From the magazines it looks awesome.

[Bighuey]

I see a lot of magazines on a daily basis, and have my "like", "love", and "GET THEM AWAY FROM ME BEFORE I TAKE THEM ALL HOME WITH ME" lists.

I really like browsing through travel magazines: Coastal Living is probably my favorite--all these gorgeous beach houses that I could never afford, the sand, the sun, the urge to get up and leave my desk and drive to the ocean. *sigh*

Food & Wine, Cooking Light, Bon Appetit--they all give me great ideas for recipes that I look at and never follow. I'm more of an improviser when it comes to cooking, but it's nice ideas of what I can throw in every now and then!

Sky & Telescope is another one I like to browse through, as is Scientific American--they've got some pretty cool articles every now and then.
