Ask Slashdot: What Magazines Do You Still Read? 363
AmiMoJo writes "Over on Slashdot Japan, there is a discussion about what magazines people still read (Google translation of Japanese original). Japanese people still tend to read a lot of periodicals, while in the west readership seems to be in decline. Do you read magazines regularly, or at all? Are websites a good substitute, or do print publications still offer something worth spending your cash on?"

Know it's a long standing joke, but the articles are actually well written across a broad spectrum. My husband doesn't mind the pictures either. ;) Still love the tactile feel of real books too. (Yes I have an e-reader as well). But sometimes I don't want to take one to the beach and risk it getting soaked or stolen.
Unfortunately with electronic media, we lose the ability to loan/share a lot of the content; which I think is the biggest loss of all. Heck, I would consider buying more e-books if they were only $1-$3, but generally you don't see a discount between the two (or maybe a $1 discount). Just not worth the expense at this point...

I bought a newspaper last Sunday. The bird cages needed to be cleaned.

Just for old times' sake, I took a shit on the front page and wiped my ass with the sports section
What a coincidence. So did the birds.
