Has anyone picked up the new Times with Twain on the cover? I normally don't go in for Time, but hey they are featuring Twain.

And yet you find yourself on a forum dedicated to books and reading.
I responded at the non-fiction section which includes magazines and newspapers. I apologize, I didn't mean to offend anyone at all.
I was forced to read books, you know, text books from college. Am not referring to any books here other than those textbooks. Those mags keeps me entertained anyhow. By the way, I've read the article from class before about the Theory of Evolution of Charles Darwin. That humans evolved from apes. How come you said Darwin never stated it?

Sparkchaser already explained that. The theory proposes that humans and apes share a common ancestor. Although I don't think there is anything wrong with saying we evolved from apes. Taxonomically we are apes. So it makes sense that our common ancestors were apes as well.
And to stay on topic, I read Scientific American, Skeptic, and Skeptical Inquirer. I'm looking for some good literature journals to start reading.

I got another subscription to Entertainment Weekly. Ah, how I missed this magazine!

You might like "Tin House". It features new and known writers, fiction and non fiction.
I also read "Smithsonian", "National Geographic", and I love, love, love "Mental Floss".

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll have to check it out.
Bleumana, I had never heard of "Mental Floss" so your post caused me to browse their website. I found their website interesting so I recently bought a magazine and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Thank you kindly, for the magazine recommendation! :flowers:

I subscribe to Barron's weekly magazine, more of a tabloid actually. They sent me an offer to subscribe for one year at a price of only $50. It was an offer I couldn't refuse.
I have in the past subscribed to Flex, a bodybuilding magazine, Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities and a few others over the years that I've forgotten. I used to pick up various news magazines at the newsstand from time to time, but not so much anymore. I've heard that US News/World report is now a monthly, Newsweek is stopping publication all together, and Time is on the ropes. Anybody here subscribing to them? Are they really toast now?
I had an offer for subscribing to Fortune magazine laying around here somewhere, I can't find it. I'm sure I'll get another one soon.

Cabinet Magazine is pretty amazing.
They've had well-written, well-researched articles on just about everything - from the invention of the vibrator (according to ads from the turn of the last century, the medical benefits are immense) to one about a gentleman who is growing/shaping living trees to be the walls of a house.
Jocked by a philosopher, a curator, and a novelist on their website. It's possible they're just friends of the editors.
But, I personally know an architect, an attorney, a D.O.P., a physicist and a handful of computer geeks that can't get enough of it.
AND I just discovered that subscribers can read every sold-out issue online for free.
I also like Giant Robot a lot.

I read Reason Magazine. It's the best,most professional and most popular magazine written from a libertarian perspective.

As of late, I've been favoring The New Republic. I also have access to the online archives and that is really enjoyable. I spent one weekend reading every article on Vietnam from 1954-1975. It's hard to not want to read all of the online content, and take away from the "good" parts of the print publication.
