Yes, any magazine that covers a specific subject are is pretty much useless. They just cover the same stuff over and over.

Best bathroom reading = national geographic
Its also the only magazine I read and occasional the Economist.

as you mentioned gamer mags are worth it. to me mainly because they rate games and explain the pros and cons so i can make educated game purchases. with games costing what they do today its nice to read a side by side review of x football game vs y football game before buying.

i also think consumer digest type mags are awesome when you are in the market for something big like a car or big tv or such. i personally dont feel the consumer digests are worth subscribing to because once a year when i need one i just go buy the one that has to do with the product im after. a subscribtion would be a waste of $$ and overkill.

Scientific American is good too.

They used to be worth it. Now that you can get reviews on the Internet for free, they aren't worth it (unless you are getting them for the demo discs).

Workout Magazine are by far the worst.

Get a one year subscription and then you never have to touch another workout mag again. Every other issue there is a new "SUmmer AB Workout" "BIceps in 6 weeks" "Ab Blast Workout" "Bicep BUsting Bonanza"


Its very, very lame.

Re: are all magazines useless?
 

For magazines that deal with specialized areas, like poker, or maybe workouts or tennis or something, they run out of interesting topics quite quickly. However the editors and publishers continue to be under pressure to come up with good stuff, so a lot of the time they rework old stories and old content.

Meanwhile, the suggestions here have been good. I'll add Popular Science, Popular Mechanics and Golf Digest as three of the ones I like most for plane rides. Playboy is also terrific, but often you'll get in a beef reading it on a plane.

But, that does remind me that Cindy Margolis is in this month's issue. I better grab a copy on my way home tonight...
