You Know I Read it in a Magazine

January 19, 2012 in Uncategorized with 11 Comments

First lets give away a book from last week’s top-10 books of 2011 post. The winner, as chosen randomly by some number generator I found online is……….(Drumroll)………….Jeff Johnson. Congrats Jeff, you win one of the 10 books off my top ten list.

Do the magazines you subscribe to say something about you? Or do they just say you can’t say no whenever the Books-a-Million associate offers you 8 free issues with your purchase. We subscribe to Entertainment Weekly, because Tricia use to get it in college, and enjoyed it, so I bought a subscription for her last birthday. And we also subscribe to The Economist, because I had to subscribe to a magazine to earn some frequent flyer miles back in October, and I figured we needed something smart to cancel out Entertainment Weekly. But enough about us, what magazines do you subscribe to?

  • Caleb Land

    ESPN the Magazine, because I wanted ESPN Insider and it came with it.

    Fast Company because I g0t hired to direct a non-profit with no business background so it seemed like a smart thing to do at the time.

    Is Fast Company associated with The Economist or EW in anyway, b/c they’ve sent us an issue the past two months.

    Both my subscriptions were gifts, but I’m pretty pleased with both… Runners World, Sports Illustrated. (I do call them and tell them NOT to send the swimsuit issue.)

    I had an SI subscription in 7th or 8th grade.  I remember flipping through the swimsuit issue once and then it magically disappeared.

    I currently only subscribe to Newsweek, but the list of magazines that I would like to read regularly that I want to get subscribed to are as follows: FastCompany, Rolling Stone, ESPN Magazine. Also, I actually do buy each new issuer of Food Network Magazine when I see it at the grocery because well…I like to pretend I can cook all those things.

    I have no delusions about cooking, though I do pour a mean bowl of cereal

    Men’s Health and Runner’s World … always looking for new training ideas or healthy living advice … I get the ESPN Mag free with Insider as well, but never really read it. 

  • Stevekking

    Runner’s World and Wired.  Although I absolutely love Wired, I find that it is easier to get put aside and never read.  I have at least the last six months of issues still in the shrink wrap.

  • Maury D. Gaston

    Business Week.  The Wall Street Journal (okay, I know it’s a newspaper).  The Delta of Sigma Nu. 

  • Maury D. Gaston

    You should read last season’e pre-season edition of ESPN, the one with Luke on the cover.  Page 120!
