amy Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 This is the thread for recent magazine articles you've read/opinions on magazines/subscriptions I hate Utne and New Republic that is all. I like Mother Jones sometimes. Link to comment
TeleportSandwich Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I've been thinking of getting a subscription to the New Yorker, but since most of their news pieces are available online for free it might not be worth it. Link to comment
HappyLittleBoozer Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I read Rue Morgue, Metal Maniacs, BW&BK, and Terrorizer. Link to comment
amy Posted February 1, 2007 Author Share Posted February 1, 2007 We used to get the New Yorker. I guess our subscription ended a few months ago. I think it's really nice to have something to read on paper! You can read people talking on the internet any time. I like the New York mostly but sometimes it gets on my nerves because it assumes all its readers are privileged. e.g. one time there was this article on what to get for people when they invite you to their summer house (!?!?!??!) I still get the National Geographic! I don't read it as much as I should. Link to comment

Makil Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Aside from gaming mags, I used to read Juxtapoze. But my subscription ended a while ago. I've been meanign to renew it but it's expensive. :/ Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 if it wasn't so expensive i'd have a subscription to Nat'l Geographic. i love that thing as it is, i pick up about three issues of Terrorizer a year and read whatever's in the bathroom, which is usually PC gaming mags Link to comment
amy Posted February 2, 2007 Author Share Posted February 2, 2007 is it really expensive? $15 a year http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazines/index.html today I read a few articles from Christian Century: one on psychotherapy and the other on consumerism i was really impressed at how broad-mined and smart the authors seemed. XD The article on psychotherapy brought up a number of important issues I didn't expect them to mention like that improperly done bible counseling for many people will just amount to abuse and neglect. It also talked about how you can't have "just the bible", even "straight bible" itself is a personal interpretation. The more progressive bible therapy seems a lot like plain therapy but with a more metaphors. at the same time it wasn't preachy (LOL) for any side The second article was one of the best articles on materialism I've ever read! It discussed how feeling superior to others, because you're ~choosing~ to have less, is wrong in itself, and a privilege as well as doing the whole blah-blah-blah americans consume a lot talk. but the author's personal opinion was that any abstinence, whatever the reason, is helpful at this point Link to comment
Arcane Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I want to get a subscription to Wired. But I never get around to doing it though since I'll have to change my address 3 times during the subscription. Maybe I'll get it when I move into my apartment in August. Link to comment
