We are bombarded with magRags at the check-out cuonters at all grocery stores. Curious.......who buys magazines any more? If you do, which ones do you buy?

I have a subscription to Hot VW’s, and I go to the book store and buy the British magazine VolksWorld.

Can you guess one of my obsessions?

I used to subscribe to a dozen or so. I think the only ones I still get are that are not free are Chess Life and Opera News.

Rue Morgue

Realms of Fantasy

Fantasy and Science Fiction digest

None of these are sold at checkout stands-I buy them at the local book store, except for ROF. I had to get a subscription to it as the bookstore quit carrying it when its Sovereign media publisher went out of business. They never picked it up from Tir Na Nog press, so I'm guessing they won't stock it from its third publisher in two years.

I love magazines, and when I go to Tractor Supply I usually buy about ten off the racks to get me through several months. Anything that will teach me something, and to which I can refer later.

I subscribe to GRIT and Mother Earth News.

They might be uninhabited but they are all claimed by governments

I foresee a time when governments will have a lot more to worry about than uninhabited islands. Hyperinflation and the strife that comes with it for one. There's going to be a reshuffling. Could be a great opportunity for a like-minded people who desire a return to a freedom-oriented government to make a claim and then defend it. It'll be ugly, the tree of liberty will have to be watered. But it won't be any uglier than what will be going on in the rest of the world at that time.

I get SMART COMPUTING. I think in the future the only magazines that will survive are trade/professional, niche/hobby, or “pretty” (i.e. fashion, design).

A lot of public libraries have magazine swaps where people leave off their magazines when they're done with them and you can pick them up to take home to read.

So do some supermarkets and town dumps -- though there may be quite a social difference between the library and the dump -- or you can read them at the gym.

As long as somebody else is reading magazines you don't really have to buy them. I can't see paying for the Atlantic or the New Yorker or even National Review but there are usually one or two articles a month that are worth a look and aren't available online.

Speaking of: I noticed that US News and World Report isn't being published anymore. At least the regular magazine isn't coming out. The website is still updated and special issues on colleges and hospitals will appear on newsstands, but the magazine we remember is gone. It's not really a surprise since they've been cutting back for a long time. They weren't the worst of the newsweeklies by any means. When they started back in the 1940s they were the conservative alternative to Newsweek.
