BTT: Periodicals
What magazines/journals do you read?
I do read some magazines on occasion, but mostly I just flip through them. Let's see:
- Bitch (Feminist Response to Pop Culture)
- Mother Jones (mostly economics and current events) -- have a subscription
- National Geographic -- have a subscription
- Entertainment Weekly -- have a subscription; have to get my weekly dose of pop culture crap
- Us Weekly -- read at the library during the boys' Pokemon club; have to get my weekly dose of crap celebrity news
- People -- see Us Weekly
- Discover -- on occasion from the library
- Smithsonian -- on occasion from the library
- Spin -- parents have a subscription
Guess I do read more than my fair share of magazines. It usually happens that I flip through them while watching a movie or television. I don't have to concentrate as much as when I'm reading a book, so they're more like a small distraction. And except for Bitch and Mother Jones, I don't read them cover to cover. I tend to skim, much like reading the newspaper. For the sake of being all academic and nerdy, I must add that I do read way more books than magazines. So I think my literary cred is still intact.
