For what it's worth, I never read on the crapper. Maybe that's one reason why I'm not as into magazines as other people.
EDIT: I'm kind of embarrassed that this is at the top of the page.

Heh. That cracked me up. And that might have been more than I needed to know about you, Nathan.

speaking of BUST, I was browsing the magazines today at the book store, and I spotted a photo of my cousin jeannie in the table of contents- there's a feature on her and her apartment. She lives in nyc also, but I've only seen her once since I've moved here. I have a b&n gift card, so I decided to get a few magazines and crawl into bed with them tonight. I kept circling the magazine rack, going from section to section. I picked up organic style (another one of those lame "environmental" magazines) b/c I had met someone on staff there at a new year's party. and on the page with the little photos of the featured contributers was Charles, who had hosted the new years party. I started thinking that every time I picked up a magazine, I would know someone in it. I brought home the copy of bust and one of readymade. One of my long-standing favorites is Art in America. Good, solid, low-priced art magazine. Also Nylon- I like the price. I'm kind of a cheapskate when it comes to magazines. Anything over five bucks seems outrageous.

hahahah VoVat you cracked me up there.
I totally forgot about my art magazines. Funny, cause they were laying on the floor next to me all day. I don't have a subscription right now but I have been reading Art in America, Art News and Art Forum. |

vovat, you are not alone, i do not read on the shitter either.
slaveish, i agree, magazines are getting to expensive, i remember when details was 2.50 and spin and rolling stone were hovering about 4-5 bucks with tax. now they are all about 5 bucks. canadian dollars at any rate.

the only magazine i currently subscribe to is The Believer, which is a literary magazine put out by McSweeneys (to whose literary JOUNRAL i subscribe as well) - lots of cool interviews with interesting people as well as book reviews and other book-related articles (some recent interviews: Robert Pollard, Joanna Newsom, a "real" Vampire Hunter, lots of interesting visual artists, including Raymond Pettibon). plus nick hornby's column "stuff i read this month" always is a good read.
i have a way old rolling stone subscription from high school that my parents still get some 5 years later for unknown reasons. and my dad always gives me his week old entertainment weeklys when we get dinner once a week. ditto for his cook's illustrated and sports weekly. so basically, i get a lot of free magazines that i skim.

When I was much younger (perhaps between the ages of five and seven) I subscribed to a magazine called Ranger Rick. There was also Highlights for Kids. Since that tender age, I haven't subscribed to anything.
I will never say the word procrastinate again, I'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed. |

| oh yeah, I used to love Ranger Rick. My brother got it, but I always read it. Highlights they always had at the dentist's office. I was kind of fascinated with perforation as a kid- I think they used to have lots of stuff you could rip out in Highlights. How about MAD magazine? Or National Lampoon- those are two more of my brother's I used to read- and of course Rolling Stone. |

I used to get Ranger Rick, too. My grandparents would always buy me subscriptions to it for my birthday. There was also an even-younger-kids' magazine made by the same people, called Your Big Backyard.

I read Cracked magazine when I was a kid.
It was/is a decent Mad magazine rip.

Also read CarToons. Kinda like Mad or Cracked for car enthusiasts.

| I bought myself a subscription to Playboy when I was 15. My parents found out after a few months but they didn't seem to mind. Good times. |
