radiomanWhat magazines do you subscribe to or regularly read/buy?
No, not that kind of magazine

--- the type made out of paper, you know, that you read.
20 years ago, I had TV Guide, Popular Mechanics, Popular Science, American Rifleman, National Geographic, Solider of Fortune, National Review, a Travel magazine, Guns and Ammo, 3 amateur radio magazines, and EDN an engineering journal. I also subscribed to 2 newspapers: The Wall Street Journal and our local paper which is out of print now.
Now I'm down to just American Rifleman, and one of the amateur radio magazines. And I can't say I really sit and read either one of these. It's just that they come with membership in their respective organizations. Although getting them is optional I still choose to.
My mailman has a much lighter load than 20 years ago.
How about you guys?

cparktdI get a car magazine, started a few months ago. Car and Driver I think.
I Didn't order it and I don't pay for it that I know of.
Could have gotten scammed I guess. But I would rather think maybe it was an anonymous Karma! IDK.
I should probably look into it...

PHPaulAnalog. Science Fiction and a few fact articles. I'm WAAAAAAAAAAAAY behind in my reading, got three double issues stacked on the shelf waiting to be read.
Been taking Analog since 1972.
Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Todd HuffmanI get a few hunting and fishing magazines and Four Wheeler magazine. I can't remember the names of all the hunting magazines I get. It's enough that my wife fusses about them piling up on the end table.

BisleyblackhawkThe only print magazines that come to the house...
American Rifleman
The Blue Press
The Lutheran Witness
Tennessee Home And Farm
These come because I am a member or make purchases...I do read them though...
I truthfully can't remember the last time I purchased any magazine.
I do visit the local library from time to time and read what interests me.

craglawnmanorCurrently Card & Driver and Sports Illustrated. But only because each (even SI) was purchased with some promotion @ $2 for the year.

JALLENI believe we still get Readers Digest. We get several Cat magazines. I still get boat and yacht magazines although I sold my yacht years ago and have not subscribed since.
I've been a life member of ARRL for nearly 50 years, so still receive QST.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown July 02, 2017, 04:27 PM

newtoSig765I used to get all the mags -- G&A, ST, American Handgunner, R&T, C&D, Competition Press and Autoweek, SOF, a couple bicycling mags, three or four motorcycle mags, two or three aviation mags...
American Rifleman is all that I see now. Tried Flying Magazine a couple years ago, and it was too boring. Same with Readers Digest.
At least I'm only a couple months behind, usually.

barndg00My wife has a few, but I personally read and subscribe to Our State (NC magazine) and Garden and Gun. Love them both.

arfmelJust American Rifleman, which, like most of the others I used to buy, seems to have more pages of advertising than actual articles. Come to think of it, most of the articles are essentially ads for stuff, too.
July 02, 2017, 05:13 PM
Il CattivoAmerican Rifleman, the local bar rag, and a couple of archaeology magazines.

OKCGeneI don't subscribe to many, but read a good number at my local public library.
I've stopped reading some lately because they're just regurgitated.
I do like The Backwoodsman.
