Magazines

Between books, I read magazines. Sometimes going from one author to another, the differences in style are jarring. So magazines offer me a cleansing of the palate so to speak, like a cracker in between wines at a tasting.

I read 4 magazines. Zoonooz---kinda because I have to. National Geographic because I am always amazed by what I learn reading this great publication. Playboy, because I love its editorial viewpoint, somewhere between libertarian and liberal, with an un-PC anti-authority slant. I read every article including award winning fiction, and timely op-ed pieces, from fashion to movie reviews. As for the pictorials---they are nice, but I know how worked on the images are, pre-picture and post. And while the girls look nice, they generally are not particularly erotic to me. I do get it for the content. And last, a new addition to my periodical list, is Plenty Magazine. From it I learn of many ways to make our world greener, with articles that touch on many aspects of conservation and the green movement.

So besides books, that is my reading list.
