I freely admit to regularly buying OK! & The National Enquirer

If you don't read these rags what do you read?
I have tried Good Housekeeping but it was too dull

oh god I can't stand gossip / so-called 'celeb' mags .. such mindless drivel ... am constantly surprised there is a market for them ... and slightly saddened too

I occasionally read Red, very infrequently The Economist .. but tend to read books / papers instead

SorenLorensen · 22/01/2008 19:02

Radio Times and Good Housekeeping (I subscribe to both).

Oh, dear God, I am OLD....

Twiglett · 22/01/2008 19:02

OK that makes me sound like an arse .. I read many crap books .. but like fiction to be packaged as fiction

TheBlonde · 22/01/2008 19:03

I occasionally read DH's economist

My concentration & time span doesn't work for books

I get She and Eve on sub and my BIL has ordered me Good Housekeeping too. I am such a housewife!

TheBlonde · 22/01/2008 19:04

I used to read Grazia but got fed up with the depressing current affairs section

Grazia [yuk] .. my sister gets Grazia [yuk] .. what a pile of steaming horse poo

Pickie · 22/01/2008 19:06

Delicious (how sad is that for my 30th b'day I got 2 sub!), Sainsbury's mag and Eve. Some work mags if i cant go to sleep:-)

OverMyDeadBody · 22/01/2008 19:06

Who needs celeb mags and gossip mags when we've got mumsnet!

NomDePlume · 22/01/2008 19:08

I lurve property mags. My favourite is called 25 Beuatiful Homes. 'Tis like a paper version of Through The Keyhole

Hecate · 22/01/2008 19:08

The crappy weeklies - take a break, full house and so on. I keep them in the car for those times I'm hanging around waiting.

Please don't judge me.

ska · 22/01/2008 19:08

red, easy living, country living, guilty secret grazia reader,radio times, homes mags at the mo(as just moved and in need of inspiration). plus weekend papers some weeks and 'trade' journals for job. But fave is Granta for the fiction (and dh gets it on a subs from his dad each year for xmas). sounds like i read all the time.

NomDePlume · 22/01/2008 19:09

Beautiful

JaneHH · 22/01/2008 19:09

The Economist stacks up for about a month here then I have a go at them all in one go and force myself not to feel guilty for skipping great swathes of it... generally good articles though.

On a whim if I've got a day off I might buy a more "normal" women's magazine but I couldn't bear to read them week in week out. Sorry...

southeastastra · 22/01/2008 19:09

i quite like the depressing current affairs section in grazia, reminds me of the old marie claire.

my sister gets all the mags and she passes them on to me. the best i reckon are elle, easy living and red, but tbg they all seem to merge into one. the only one i buy myself is the fortean times.

books

and I buy the Times on Sat or Sun for the magazine, the easy crosswords and the CodeWord

and my sister buys me a subscription to Cheesey Easy Living, which is fairly poor really but means I get an exciting package once a month

More of a book reader than magazines but if I buy magazines I'm most likely to buy property magazines, food magazines, or coast (actually get this handed down from my mum). The only woman's type magazine I tend to buy ocassionally is 'red' which seems to have a mix of everything.

GetOrfMoiLand · 22/01/2008 19:13

I buy Grazia and sometimes Marie Claire and Elle.

I devour Take a Break and OK when I go to my mums

NomDePlume · 22/01/2008 19:13

oh and obviously books and the local papers but didn't think they 'counted' as replacements for sleb guff

GetOrfMoiLand · 22/01/2008 19:13

And Times on Saturday and Sunday (love the supplements)

NomDePlume · 22/01/2008 19:14

TellusMater · 22/01/2008 19:14
