Our weekly geeks assignment this week is to talk about the magazines we read. I used to read a lot more magazines, but with three kids and the paperwork (homework, art projects, etc.) they bring into the house, and the complete lack of time to read them, the number of subscriptions is way down as is the time to read them. Plus, I have a hard time throwing them out, and then I have a stack of magazines to walk around, and dust around and ...

I haven't even been buying magazines off the rack much anymore. I used to read People religiously, but they changed quite a bit and now are too tabloid-like, except for special editions like the one over there.
If I were exercising more and trying to be fit, I like Self magazine a lot. It has great articles, good recipes, a little beauty but mostly articles for regular people.
For a number of years my husband subscribed to Sports Illustrated, and I would read it as well. It had really well written articles, profiles and commentaries. Neither of us was very interested in that bathing suit issue that would arrive once a year. We really liked the magazine for the articles.
My parents bought me a subscription to Readers Digest for a number of years and I picked it up after they stopped, but I eventually let it go. I loved the real life jokes and the snippets of articles. Some of the stories featured in the magazine were very inspiring.
