Review of THE ECONOMIST
This is the most accurate geo-political and socio-economic English-language news-weekly there is. Period. Articles are succinct, top-notch, and cover everything from the world today to business, economics to the environment. I do think the magazine tends to focus a bit too little on the environment and religion, but that is my perception. Despite the editorial style and very sophisticated diction, articles are still easy to understand. True, this magazine (or newspaper, as it calls itself) is staunchly pro-democracy (i.e. broadly speaking, anti-Russian policy, anti-Chinese policy in their respective conflicts, say, over Georgia or Taiwan, and pro-war on the Iraq issue), pro-free trade, and pro-European (i.e. for the expansion of the EU). But it takes many conservative and liberatarian positions, too, and oftentimes even liberal ones, which, overall, makes the magazine fairly objective - you'll usually get all or most of the points-of-view after reading just a few articles on the same subject, although the Economist usually does imply, or sometimes downright state, which position it takes or the world must take. Actually that's the best part: it is very refreshing to have a magazine that is not afraid to share its opinion and offer its advice to readers, hence its influence. This, for me, is the icing on the cake.
"I used to think. Now I just read The Economist"
This is how Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle, described his impression of the magazine. Although a little overhyped, I could'nt put it more succintly. It makes you think and makes you laugh. Read it!

Diverse, Compact, And Fair.
This is not solely a magazine for financial news. Writers from various points of view give the reader a great depth of research in their reporting. Precise coverage on current events, science, law, medicine, economics, politics, and technological news that you will not find anywhere else. I would say the thrust of the magazine is "libertarian light." It is simply the best news source in the English speaking world. ... Read more

Fun read
This is a fun read.The articles are entertaining and short.Good to pass some time.Excellent for the plane!

Wonderful Magazine
People is a weekly American magazine of celebrity and human interest stories,the magazine runs a roughly mix of celebrity and human interest stories,People is perhaps best known for its yearly special issues naming "The 50 Most Beautiful People", "The Best and Worst Dressed", and "The Sexiest Man Alive".Ithink people magazine is a wonderful magazine because I can keep in touch on what is happy to the actors and actress. What the good movies are that are good for me to watch. I think ya'll do a good job with the magazine. It is worth reading every time I get it.People also includes reviews of new books, cds and movies.
Enjoyable
An interesting and enjoyable magazine if you like reading about celebs. If not: This is not the magazine for you. Very rarely will you see someone on the cover of people for being involved in politics or saving someone's life or whatever. Instead you'll learn about Branjelina's baby, the ongoing divorce struggles of Jess and Nick, and other such stuff. But I am not condemming the magazine; I myself enjoy sitting down with it every week and would reccommend it to you. ... Read more

Has Seen Much Better Days
I used to really like US magazine. I have been collecting every issue each week for several years now. But wait! Has anyone else noticed that this magazine has drastically changed since the beginning of this year? Where are all the interesting articles and info on the celebrities, movies and music? There's no more than a thumbnail's sketch of info on anything now. It's all photos and quickie hype. It has no more substance. What happened to this good magazine?

Delivery Problems!
Why is it that Us Weekly can't get a copy to me weekly?Sometimes three weeks will go by without an issue.Then I'll receive three in one week.Us Weekly assures me that everything is normal and that they ship them just as soon they come off the printing presses.I'm not buying their story or the magazine again.

US Weekly - The Best Celebrity Gossip Magazine
As an avid gossip lover and big-time magazine reader, I whole-heartedly recommend US Weekly as the best magazine subscription you will buy this year.As a woman in her twenties who subscribes to all of the celebrity magazines, I would have to say that US Weekly is hands down the most entertaining magazine of them all.They have the most up to date photos, pretty accurate stories, and entertaining staff writers.Their weekly columns on "Who Wore It Best" and "Fashion Police" are laugh out loud funny.

People is the best
I've been buying this magazine since it first came out. I let my subscription lapse for a few months and sure missed getting People in the mail on Fridays. It's back and I'm glad!!

Same old song and dance
I echo the same gripe that other reviewers have voiced here: The magazine covers the same handful of people week after week after boring week.How many times is a reader going to see no talents such as Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, the Tom Cruise-Katie Holmes joke, and THE most overrated, overhyped people of all time Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the cover and not get tired of it?
Tinsel talk
Once years ago 'People' would have, if I am not mistaken , articles on people outside the worlds of glitz and tinsel. Now it seems to have degenerated into another kind of low- pop-culture mag which belongs to what Mencken called 'the booboisie'.

Bread and Butter
The new yorker was love at first site for me - I saw it on a friend's coffee table and I was drawn in intially by the photography and the intelligence of the writing.People always refer to the "Tina Brown ERA" as if it was a total disaster...but I disagree...perhaps because it coincided with my mid to late 20's, shortly after I first started subscribing to the magazine, when I needed culture as much as I needed knowlege. I thought TB added some sparkle to the nerdy publication - I loved the photo essays, and the women's profiles - I remember reading about Elizabeth Dole and Hilary Clinton, etc.Tina Brown got me hooked.David Remnick kept me going on a more nutritious and wordy diet. I do read it every week - skim, remove cards, read comics, check out the articles, go back to read the ones that are interesting.I have no idea why people would feel that they have to live in NYC to benefit.

you don't have to be a New Yorker to love it, but it helps
I was introduced to the New Yorker when I first arrived at grad school--and have been an avid fan ever since.You don't have to live in NY to love this magazine! Its articles, stories, cartoons, poems and commentary never fail to turn a cup of tea on an afternoon break into something more--like being invited to engage with the clever minds of our day. If you are no longer in school, staying well informed in this way is priceless.There are insights here that appeal to our need to be reading something with style so thoroughly that they make you wish your busier friends had enough time to discuss some of the controversial or witty contents with you.The cutting edge reporting is unparallelled in "literary" magazines of this sort.I will never forget the provocative articles on low energy radiation and cancer that caused such a stir in the late 80's, when people began exposing themselves tocomputers on a regular basis.The New Yorker is a gem.Picking up a copy is like fine dining in an era of junk food.Treasure it.

almost forgot to mention the cool covers
The New Yorker is both a blessing and a curse for me.It's a great magazine, but sometimes I feel so compelled to keep up with my weekly New Yorkers that I find it feeling like a burden.

Time's person of the year speaks out
I am a Time person of the year 2003 (shared title - actively deployed U.S. servicemembers).I must say that reading Time magazine is like reading the platform for the Democratic Party.Actually it is even worse than that it is like reading John Dean's diary, filled more with fantasy and personal wishes than actual reality.
I Always Make Time for Time
I have been subscribing to this magazine for years, and it is a very special part of my weekly regimen.In fact, every monday or tuesday I start to feel a pang of something being 'missing' if I haven't yet read that week's issue.As I explained to my daughter this summer, I do not read every word, every page, or every article.But I do flip through every page and read whatever interests me or catches my attention.Alot of it is just to look at the pictures and read the captions.Every issue usually contains at least a few articles that I read in their entirety -- usually in the business and lifestyle sections -- and I often pick up tips on good books, music, and movies from it.A very solid subscription.A way of life, actually.

Keeps me informed
This magazine is an easy read that keeps me generally informed with what's going on. Unlike the dry indepth articles of the Economist, Time Magazine is quick bang bang information.It is a good overview. ... Read more

Indispensable guide to what is happening in movies,television,books,and popular culture. Comprehensive,witty,well-written and,of course,entertaining!

Entertainment Weekly
I love this magazine and I look forward to getting it in the mail every single week, unless if the last one was a double issue. Then I have to wait another whole week, which can sometimes be painful. I love the reviews and the magazine is funny, fresh and it keeps me up to date on movies, TV, music, and DVDs. The onlt complaint I have is lately they don't have as many reviews for urban releases. ... Read more

Do you like learning?
I've actually met people who have said, "I'm too old to learn new things." And younger folk who have said, "That's too much like being in class." If you're one of these people, don't bother with Mental Floss magazine, or with going to school any more, or for that matter, with continuing to be alive in the first place. Living is learning, and this magazine helps edify and entertain you while you're doing all that living and learning. Most highly recommended.
Wonderful,silly trivia!
This is truly one of my favorite magazines!It's been a favorite gift for friends and I know that it is being passed to others so each issue gets multiple readings.Of course, my issues are safely in my home library since some things are too good to share.

what guys think about

Why it is still a great investment
Men's Health is one of the most popular men's magazines because it meets the various expectations and needs of the modern man. You simply have to know about fitness, dieting, supplements, fashion, gadgets, etc. The annual subscription makes it a bargain and you get so much information for a few bucks. One of the most interesting sections is the one dedicated to bedroom activities. The tips are definitely useful and yet I highly recommend in addition the bestseller "scientifically guaranteed male multiple orgasms and ultimate sex" for the latest secrets in this area. Another key feature of the magazine is that it motivates you to stay healthy, lean and fit. There are weight loss tips, advice on how to eat and exercise in order to see results fast. This is important part of keeping sharp appearance. Overall, I can reasonably say that you will learn a lot, have fun reading it and most probably it will help you up to a certain limit to be a good looking man and great lover.

Was More Consistent A Couple Of Years Ago.
This magazine offers plenty for its readers. Various advice on career issues, fitness, financial planning, sex, nutrition, style, weight loss, time management, and even recipes. It is clearly accessible and brief in its execution. Which is fine, since life can get rather hectic nowadays. It is somewhat similar to "Mens Journal." But, with far more attention on health and fitness. I deduct 1 star because it was better written in the past. Still, it is the best mens magazine available today. ... Read more

Longstanding, veritable classic!Incredible articles
What positives can one say about 'National Geographic' magazine that hasn't been said already.'NG' is an American institution that appeals to individuals with a thirst for multi-culturalism, science, and sociology.And the photography is stunning to say the least.It is often said that 'the best education' is to travel far and wide and see how other cultures live and think.Since this isn't practical for many, the next best thing is to read 'National Geographic' magazine!In addition, the fairly recent cover article on 'Evolution' was well written, convincing, and accurate!And to the myopic reviewer below who thinks that the world revolves around her, and who mentioned is not into Soccer, I say this to her:most of the world loves Soccer (technically called Football), and all the NFL, MLB, and NBA fans COMBINED don't even come close to the combined numbers of Soccer fans worldwide!I am a subscriber for life.

Great, getting a little 'out there'
I've been a subscriber for over fifteen years, and will probably continue to subscribe until the day I die. But at times I find National Geographic frustrating. I have no interest in Soccer, nor do I want a huge fold-out map discussing the sport. Aren't there more phenomenal things going on in the world today? Also, Geographic does have its pet topics.
excellent magazine for lay people
National Geographic Magazine is written primarily for theperson with little or no background in Geography. It is not an intense scholarly magazine and , as a Geograohy professor pointed out, tends to be chatty. But, it does give great information on geopgraphy as well as other fields in the Social Sciences even Natural History. There are many articles about people and places around the world and their customs. There are articles on the latest explorations and discoveries. Such as the rediscovery of the Gnostic Gospel of Judas and the oldest tatooed mummy.Zip USA takes a single US Zip Code and describes the customs and practices of the people living within that zip code. There are many interesting articles about people and places in the United States.

Best Business Weekly
Oftentimes business and econ professors will recommend that there students read the WSJ everyday.That is a terribly waste of time as the Journal is far too longwinded to be of value to busy executives.Businessweek actually provides very quick and incredibly easy-to-read pieces that give you what you absolutely need to know to get a good intuitive feel for trends and news in the business world.
Shipping Delay
I know the shipping is supposed to take 4 - 6 weeks but it has been nearly 10 weeks and i dont even have one issue in my mail box... they said they mixed up the address though i keep getting other stuff i order perfectly fine to my address. The magazine service should work a lil better. The magazine is a good one but the one star was for the poor service.

Step back from the cover Oprah
Regardless of the quality of the magazine, it is really annoying to see Oprah on every single cover! and to make it worst, she does not pick "regular Oprah shots", instead you look at every issue's front cover and ask yourself "How did they take that picture? She doesn't even look like her!" It's as if Oprah is telling all of us "See how I can look like?" Every month is just a new testimony from Oprah, that money does do wonders.
Every home could own this magazine
As an author I find Oprah's magazine to be the most inspirational any human being could use to start their month."Divorcing a wife because you can not be all she needs is a very loving act.Everyone deserves intimacy-emotional and physical.If a gay or bisexual man loves his wife, her happiness will be more important to him than his own.Setting her free to allow her the opportunity to be loved as she deserves to be, is the ultimate expression of love." Dennis J. Schleicher
I love the show but the magazine...

I Used to Subscribe
This was my weekly newsmag when I was a student and starving artist.Itàs a budget priced version of Time.As I got older and more established financially, I found that I wanted the same from my main weekly news and pop-culture sourcebook, so I switched to time.The information is not much different.It's kinda like Hertz and Avis.Now that I can afford it, I just prefer to be with #1 instead of #2.

"The Progressive" for Glossy Types.
I decided that I had to write a review about Newsweek this morning, after I came across yet another biased, over-hyped cover story. This particular one is entitled, "Rethinking the Marriage Crunch," and goes back on everything they presented 20 years ago about a woman's chances of getting married later in life. This was undoubtedly very easy for them to do as they probably had no evidence for their assertion the first time around, and neglected to have any on this occasion. I really think another reviewer's comparison to People is quite apt, but Newsweek also provides a reliably pro-sexual revolution and pro-sixties counter-culture take on almost every issue. Two years ago, we were made privy to another bit of front page sensationalism concerning "Infidelity Chic." Yes, it seems, according to their sources, spousal cheating is all the rage even though they argue, without even a hint of contradiction, that everybody still wants to get married as much as ever before. I find the magazine to be [...] as they offer opinion instead of news; theirs is a mission of persuasion. Overall, there is little of which to recommend this publication as it is geared for a readership of trivial people who possess the depth of a kiddy pool. ... Read more

The Best Magazine -- period.
I will always subscribe to this fabulous magazine. There is so much variety in each issue.I am amazed at how this magazine always get me interested in things that I have never even thought about before.And the way the articles are written, I feel like I am being entertained while I am being informed -- it's awesome!The mix is not just heavy subjects either -- there are always ighter-weight articles too, so I can pick up this magazine on any occasion when I'm in any mood and I can always find something that I want to read about.

Excellent
This is an excellent magazine. There are very few magazines that I choose to read cover to cover. This is one of the few.
Literate, authoritative history in a nutshell.
Smithsonian says it like it was, albeit short and sweet.Without sprinkling complex grammar and cute expressions that are the hallmark of so many publications, Smithsonian provides the latest meaningful scholarship, especially if it departs from traditional concepts.Their photos are always profoundly informative and fresh, without cut and paste from the time-honored sources.Their article on Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, shook me to the core.Thanks Smithsonian. ...

Always a great source of digestible scientific knowledge
I guess I still subscribe for the pictures.;-)
Something for Everyone
I purchased this subscription for my 13yr old nephew, who just loves it. It is wonderfully informative reading matter that really has something for everbody in it. Now only if he would put it down so others can look at it.

A benchmark
This science magazine should be held as a standard for the intelligent general science minded person. Articles are good, not overly technical in depth. At times it gets in its doldrums of articles, but generally it holds it own. You don't have to be a specialist in the field or hold degrees of the same. But it doesnt treat you like you were an idiot. It does at times takes some thought of getting used to. Their 'special topic issues' may be avoided unless you want compendium issue of that topic.Well received for the high-schooler either as the magazine or the website. At least the layperson can be science informed. The title of the magazine says it all. ... Read more

Used to be the best
About two years ago, Vanity Fair was not only the best magazine of the year, but maybe all time.I would read it from cover to cover.
One of the better glossy magazines out there in the world of make believe
I don't normally like glossy magazines that think too much of themselves, I think that they were invented to be dumped on coffee tables to look good when you have visitors around for coffee but if you want a really good and intelligent read, buy TIME or Newsweek.
