Nature and Science are good.

I read The Economist occasionally on plane trips. Solid mag.

Try Fine Cooking or Cook's Illustrated. If you're hungry, it's better than porn. And you'll get tons of ideas for recipes and learn about different ingredients.

these are both great. As are many magazines that don't try to sell to the lowest common denominator.

on that note, ESPN The Magazine is probably the worst magazine/book/publication of any kind that I have ever seen.

I subscribe to like 3 Mags

the first is obvious , Cardplayer
Mopar Madness <since I own a classic car, good stuff in here>
Relix <jamband nerd mag>

the sad part is of course I never get to read all of them but they are cheap enough to renew

Is it? I play poker for a living, and I think Cardplayer is a POS, especially for cash game-only players like me.

I agree-just don't become pretentious to the point where you're this guy

Re: are all magazines useless?
 

I really enjoy reading The Economist and The New Yorker.

I also get some informational enjoyment out of reading the Atlantic, although I prefer the first two magazines.

If I want to practice my page turning skills a magazine like FHM or Maxim satisfies that desire.

I like Vogue, pretty pictures.

Some relative keeps giving me subscriptions to the Smithsonian magazine, and I really enjoy the variety of topics discussed; any one issue might contain articles on art, nature, history, space exploration, music, etc.

I regularly read Men's Health, FHM, Maxim, and a few others....yeah poker magazines do suck, but you have to realize that the average poker player sucks.

I enjoy Newsweek for brainless bathroom reading.
