This was really fun. If you make your own list, send me a link and I'll link to it on the blog.
Whew, that's a lot of magazines....but do you read them? ha. Well, some people read faster than I do.
ReplyDeleteMy DH recently added another magazine subscription to our already too large list. I wondered why add something more that we don't have time to read? We sure get lots of magazines that are "free" to those who contribute money to a cause. Some of these are great reads. Makes me wonder how much of the money goes to the cause and how much to glossy paper.
I have really mixed feelings when the so called environmental organizations send so many magazines. Lots of trees cut down, lots of ink used, lots of waste water contributed to the environment, as well as fossil fuels to transport all that paper all over the US.
Wow - that's lots of magazines. I'll post on my blog soon (but it will be a short list!). With ProclaimingSoftly, I wonder how you find the time to read them all!
ReplyDeleteSome of the quarterly volumes I pile up, and then take on the airplane or at other times when I've got some extra sit-around time to read. Sojo, FT, Christian Century, and a few others I basically read front to back as soon as they arrive. Also, with the scholarly volumes (like Church History, Theology Today, etc.), I do read selectively. Not every essay interests me enough to spend time on it.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I have often found that reading essays can be more productive than reading a whole book on a subject- sometimes books are simply essays with padding, and would have been better off (but of course less lucrative) left at journal and essay length.
