MAGAZINE THREAD

[amy]

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.

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.

[HappyLittleBoozer]

I read Rue Morgue, Metal Maniacs, BW&BK, and Terrorizer.

[Natsu]

Wizard Magazine mostly

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.

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. :/

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

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

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.
