Magazines...

for January 20, 2011: Even I read things other than books from time to time … like, Magazines! What magazines/journals do you read?

Generally speaking, I think magazines are poor value for money compared to books, but I have my weaknesses. I love:

1. Magazines about my favourite fandoms - Wizard, Comic Heroes, Doctor Who, Torchwood, SFX. I find the British magazines better than the American, because they have more full-page photos, and I like to frame these for my bathroom wall - which currently has pictures of the Ninth Doctor with Rose, the Tenth Doctor, Daken, and two of Methos.
   
   
2. Science magazines like New Science and Scientific American.
   
   
3. Domestic magazines like Woman's Day, Family Circle, Better Homes and Gardens. And magazines with good recipes.
   
   
4. Magazines with interesting photography and beautiful women, like Glamour, Elle, Vogue and Vanity Fair.
   
   
5. National Geographic, when it has historical and archeological articles, or articles about pandas, or somewhere that interests me.
   
   
6. Esperanto magazines.
   
   
7. Magazines about yoga.
   

There's a pattern here - I like magazines about things which interest me. Next I'll be getting magazines about knitting, just wait and see.
