Sitting here thinking about how I use to go the Readmore bookstore back in the 70's and picking up these magazines. Was always fun to look forward to.

Mad
Cracked
Famous Monsters Of Filmland
Rona Barrett Hollywood/Gossip
Teen Magazines featuring KISS, Shaun Cassidy etc...
When Star Wars hit buying all the sci-fi related magazines

What magazines did you buy or still buy? :wave:

TV Guide (before it became an entertainment type of magazine around 2004 or so)

I used to buy “TV Guide” ever week in the 90s.

I also used to buy “16”, “Teen Beat”...all the teen magazines if they had pictures of Danielle Fishel.

Used to subscribe to “Vogue” years ago.

I get Closer, Reader's Digest & Redbook in the mail. Sometimes I'll pick up a Good Housekeeping and Cosmopolitan at Walmart if the cover looks interesting. I used to read 16 magazine and Tiger Beat when I was a teenager. They had some great fold out posters I would hang in my bedroom. I love to read magazines and books.

Me too.

Don't read magazines anymore unless someone at work leaves one in the break room and I'm bored.

But back the 80's through mid 90's I was subscribed to a few, and bought some.

The first subscription I had was a bday present from my mom, it was my 14th or 15th birthday- Fangoria Magazine, kept the subscription going until the late 90's. Also had a subscription to Gorezone Magazine.
And Conan The Barbarian Magazine was another subscription I had.

Growing up my parents had subscriptions to magazines I loved to read- Twilight Zone Magazine, The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction, National Geographic.

As a kid I loved to buy and read Mad, Cracked, Crazy, the lesser known Sick. My mom brought home (when she worked part time at a grocery store) Heavy Metal Magazine, Epic Illustrated (Marvel's answer to Heavy Metal), I can also remember reading horror comic magazines like Vampirella, Creepy, Eerie, Weird, Vampire.

When I was younger I remember that my parents got me Nickelodeon, WWF, Sports Illustrated for Kids, and National Geographic for Kids.

I'm no longer subscribed to any magazines. I used to get Cigar Aficionado a few years ago, but that was through a family friend's school and when she graduated I didn't get it anymore. I'm not sure how exactly it worked but if you ordered the magazine through the school they would get money.




The magazines that I buy today are for collectibles. I keep them in the original wrapper if it comes w/ one. Some of these are:

Lindsay Lohan's Playboy Cover
Hustler's 40th Anniv.
Caitlyn Jenner on Vanity Fair
Newsweek's Final Print Edition

when I was into model railroading I had subscriptions to MODEL RAILROADER and RAILROAD MODEL CRAFTSMAN.
And when I was into plastic modeling I had one to SCALE MODEL BUILDER.
I used to have subscriptions to TV GUIDE, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, BIOGRAPHY MAGAZINE and PEOPLE

Thanks for the response as it was nice to hear what your favorites are. I forgot about TV guides but I liked getting them at the store and plunking down the 25 or 30 cents :wave:

I use to buy the Soap Opera Weekly and Soap Opera Digest magazines. I haven't bought one in years too. And I loved viewing Playgirl mags back in the day....LOL

In my pre teen years, I would read similar magazines. You were reading about Danielle Fishel and I was reading Bobby Sherman, Davy Jones of The Monkees and later David Cassidy. As for TV guide I stopped reading and buying the magazine shortly after they company changed from the small book to the large size. For magazine I read Tiger Beat and they might had "16" for the cost of around 35 to 50cents.

I ordered REMIND magazine. I got my first copy last week and really enjoyed it.

To name a few...
Life
Look
Saturday Review
Stereo Review
Rolling Stone
Mad
The Twilight Zone
and last but definitely not least

I haven't purchased a magazine in a decade or better, probably. Just see no reason to buy one now in the digital age. The prices of magazines today give me sticker shock as well! :eek:

I used to buy Star and People in both the English and Spanish editions every week in the late 90s/early 2000s. I don't anymore, because they only have "reality tv" stars featured and I don't have a clue who any of the people are, so they are too boring!!! :lol:

I hardly read magazines today but when I was a little girl my godfather used to get me subscriptions to Barbie Magazine and 321 Contact Magazine because my mom wanted me to read educational books to learn about the world but I usually found those magazines boring and so I preferred entertainment magazines to educational magazines. But as I just becoming a teenager I would buy Seventeen Magazine and whenever I would go to the drug store I would buy Teen Beat and Tiger Beat and 16 and Bop just so I could get the posters of teen hearthrobs and I had posters of Luke Perry Jason Prestley Mario Lopez Dustin Diamond and other teen stars and I still have the magazines with the same posters attached today. Then I got into reading fashion magazines with Mom and we used to subscribe to Marie Claire and Lucky and we always liked to see the fashion sections to see what types of purses were in style that we both liked. Of course I would buy People because they had lots of photos to cut out and hang of celebrities and I also bought Entertainment Weekly because of the many celebrity stories they had and the pictures of celebrities were great as posters. But I noticed that in kids magazines today that they focus less on educating kids on teaching them about the world and are filled mostly with ads attracting kids such as cartoons movies kids foods and toys. But magazines that actually teach kids about the world such as Ranger Rick and Owl Magazine and National Geographic Kids should be updated to teach kids about the world. I recently gotten hooked on Doctor Who Magazine but can never seen to find an issue anywhere

LaBestia, thank you for reminding me about Ranger Rick as that was a popular magazine when I was in elementary school
