Take the Online Proust Quiz!

It's got some great writing. It leans Liberal but it's not exclusively Liberal. I usually ignore the cover stories because they're about celebrities and they're pretty boring, and of course, the Proust thing, which is pretty dumb. Most people who've never picked it up think it's another celebrity rag. They cover everything-- Politics, money, current scandals. They had a fantastic article about the Boeing plane that Chesley Sullenberger cruised into the Hudson-- really well-written. I'd say their strength in coverage is indepth and serious overview.

I've also given a couple of people gift subscriptions. You'd be surprised how good it is...

I love Harper's magazine. The Harper's Index is pretty cool.

Can't say that I've ever been compelled to read The New Yorker as I'm more of a New York Magazine fan. I've been a faithful reader and subscriber for about 4 years now.

I've been subscribing to The New Yorker on and off for most of my life. (Right now the sub is 'off'.) Harper's I can take or leave alone. I subscribed to Atlantic Monthly for a couple of years but gave it up when they had the temerity to move the editorial offices out of Boston. The noive! It's been a Boston publication for 100-plus years!

Of course, this says nothing about my Penthouse, Playboy and Hustler subscriptions. Not to even mention Mad.

I'm sure you read those for the articles...

The centerfold of the Atlantic Monthly?!

SO SPICY!

Gee, I made centerfold of the National Geographic once.

You one of those topless babes.

93.4% Walter Cronkite
78.82% Brian Wilson

I was the centerfold of Feed & Grain Quarterly back in '95.

Naw, just looked that way. I had them tucked in the top of my jeans.

Great - now I'll never be able to get that mental vision outta my head.

another wonderful vision to haunt me.

No, that was John Phillips.

I haven't read VF very much, just at other peoples' houses once in a while. Have subscribed to both Harpers and New Yorker.. the New Yorker for near forever.

Ah, I'm 95.96% allied to Joan Didion's responses, and 81.45% to Ray Charles'. I've liked Didion and liked Ray Charles. So it goes.
