I am a die-hard, unabashed magazine junkie (don't believe me? The right to purchase as many magazines as I wanted was part of my wedding vows...seriously). So, of course, I'm all over this list of the Top 50 magazines as determined by the National Magazine Awards (via the The Chicago Tribune by way of Rebecca's Pocket).
Interestingly, I only subscribe to three of the top 50 magazines - although I read about 12 of the others regularly (and may soon be adding Wooden Boat and American Bungalow to the rotation).
Overall, though, I subscribe to about 19 magazines, probably buy three to four others each month and also get a few free ones at work.
I've actually cut down on my magazine consumption since I started school last year. No, really...
As it is, here are the magazines I'm currently subscribing to (admitting that I read some of these titles feels like something akin to publishing my true weight) (and hell no I'm not linking to all of them):
Entertainment Weekly, TV Guide, Newsweek, Utne Reader, Mother Jones, Jane, Marie Claire, Allure, Self, Texas Monthly, Zoetrope, New Yorker, Bust, Bitch, Wired, Lucky, Pop Culture Press, Paper, Real Simple.
I also regularly read (either buying off the newstand, acquiring via work or coming across at home because Cory brings them home from work): Time, Vanity Fair, CMJ, Magnet, Punk Planet, Martha Stewart Living, Esquire, Mojo, Details, US Weekly, People, Shape, Health, Teen People, Seventeen, Radar, Clamor, Fork It, Teen, Hip Mama, McSweeney's, The Believer, Advertising Age, Cooking Light, Vegetarian Times, Glamour, Rolling Stone and Spin.
Of course, this list does not include any of the daily/weekly newspapers that I read or all the magazines / blogs that I read online - or, for that matter, the copies of Vogue, Cosmo and InStyle that I inevitably end up reading when I'm getting my hair done or the tabloids I read in line at the supermarket. (The list also does not include all the books I read for work, school and 'fun' - whatever that is)
No wonder my eyes keep getting worse. I am reading myself into a permanent state of blurred vision.
