I've got one of those big 17" monitors though, its kind of a pain to lug around. Meh, call me old fashioned, I like my mags. Death to trees!

Do people HAVE to read something while taking a #2? I've always wondered about that.

I don't HAVE to, but it definitely rattles me if I don't have anything. I've even found myself reaching into the shower to read the shampoo/conditioner bottles in the past due to lack of reading material. Good news, my shampoo comes with extra phytantriol!

Is it because you guys just aren't used to sitting down? I'm usually in and out and I don't read anything.

Don't have any subscriptions but I do buy Plane & Pilot, Flying and AOPA Flight Training on a regular basis. Also enjoy Popular Mechanics and Skeptic, as well as assorted WWII periodicals.

Lately I've become hooked on Make magazine. I don't have a subscription, but I buy just about every issue and probably will get a subscription. I also enjoy reading Alberta Views, Wired, Dwell, and Monocle.

No love for Business Week eh? I make sure to read it every week at the school library, and plan to subscribe to it in the next couple weeks.
Also subscribe to Golf Digest, but won't renew.

Walrus and Harpers are both excellent, I read every page.

The wife gets GC and Vanity Fair pretty regularly, and I read both of those as well.
I used to get it but it's a damn dense read. Just way too much going on. I cancelled it and kept on with the Atlantic.
