Q.What are your favorite magazines?
A. Let me just start off by stating: I read A LOT of magazines and when I mean a lot, I mean – A TON!
I have many subscriptions and I highly recommend them if you love reading particular magazines every month. It not only saves you money; many monthly magazines offer as little as $50 for a whole year (12 issues) subscription and you also receive your copy the week before the new issues hit the stands as an added bonus.
I have a terrible habit of not recycling my magazines in a orderly fashion. It took me a time to have accumulated over 50kg worth of magazines to realize that I can’t be a magazine hoarder. Once I finish reading the issue it usually gets stored in my magazine racks and I never touch them again.
The system I’ve devised is simple: keep a year’s worth of magazines. That way the compulsion to hoard is satisfied but then again I’m not going overboard.
So once a new issue is out, ie. January, I get rid of the previous year’s January issue. That way I always have a full year in my collection that I can always flick back to if needed.
I don’t really like the celebrity gossip magazines, unless it’s fashion related or how they’ve worn their makeup. Who married whom, break-ups and babies with odd names aren’t really my thing. I especially don’t enjoy reading “A source says…” over and over again.
