I'm the first to admit that I'm
hooked on reading magazines. I've
been
this way as long as I can remember.
I
love picking up magazines about different
topics.
Currently, I subscribe to about six or
seven magazines, although when I was getting
professional journals during my days
at
the university, I probably had 15 or 20
coming
to my box every month. Now I read
mostly
for pleasure. I like to read the
New
Yorker, because it is so well-
written.
I also get a copy of Atlantic Monthly
and
Harpers every month, because they
have
good coverage of cultural, political,
and
social issues. My latest is to
read
book reviews. There are a couple of
really
good book reviews published in the U.S.,
including
the New York Review of Books. But
the
best reviews for my money are the
Times Literary Supplement and the
London Review of Books, both of
which
come out of England. I have to
thank my
friend Gustavo for turning me on to
those
two. I prefer to read the non-fiction
reviews over the fiction ones, but
that's me. Ah, the joys of
reading!
