Okay...so, I never get magazines via subscription...I prefer to buy them "over the counter" (in bookstores or from newsstands). And, believe it or not, the list below is a pretty good representation of the magazines I do actually purchase and read on a regular basis (well, a few I read less often, but most I do read regularly).

Folks in my age range still don't mind reading extensively...especially something WORTH reading. I even am able to get a hold of a few good British magazines, though they tend to cost a bit much...heh heh... (the British mags are each marked with an asterisk below).

I have grouped these into categories and given the web link for each.

AAA World (http://www.aaamidatlantic.com/AAAWorld)
Because I am a mid-level member of the American Automobile Association ("AAA"), I actually do get this by mail as part of my membership. lol

Because I took tae kwon do for several years.

Men's Health (http://www.menshealth.com)

Men's Journal (http://mensjournal.com)

I do consider myself "well-read", yes. Again, if the material is worth the effort. (Incidentally, since there are so many different kinds of magazines, covering all manner of subject matter that one might imagine, I didn't think there was a "type" into which one could be categorized or excluded... Care to enlighten me?)



Yes, that's precisely what I enjoy spending the $4.50/month newsstand price on the magazine for...the pull-out poster of the featured breeds. ROFL! I mean, the rest of the magazine is just..."fluff"...

(I'm getting the distinct impression that your bedroom is plastered with those posters...heh..)

You're too much sometimes, MB.
