I can't miss an issue of "Men's Health" myself, purely because it's a very good read. "Motor" and "Wheels" are also high quality magazines, tho I can't say I'm a regular reader.

Hmm, Men's Health is a must, Motor and Wheels are good boring lecture material, and we got a magazine called "Home - Lifestyle" magazine, which is jam packed with the best home style, expensive luxury homes and great furniture! Recommended!

Two thumbs up for Men's Health.
I read Dub, Import Tuner, Motor Trend, and Lowrider for work and because I enjoy them.
Other magazines I read for entertainment and knowlege include Newsweek, BusinessWeek, Guns&Ammo, Grappling, and others I can't think of right now.
It's funny how I read more now that I'm not in school :laughing:

I like to read Penthouse and Hustler.

hey what a coincidence. me too!

besides those, maxim for entertainment. esquire for style and articles.
i think esquire should be something that everyone reads. many times it has very deep articles, such as in the last issue it touched upon the unspoken subject of identifying the ppl who jumped out of the towers on 9/11. thinking about it brings me to tears.

i've bought Monday magazine from HK before. it's not bad.

english : time *helps me pass my current affairs pop quizes.
chinese : i actually buy if there are nice pictures and interesting articles. -- play?!

08-22-2003, 03:03 PM
English language : Vogue, Vanity Fair, Esquire, sometimes takes a peek at GQ, Architectural Digest. Always prefer the US version, never like the Australian or UK version.

Time, Newsweek (Asia version).

Anybody read music magazines ??.
I only read local ones, got MTV Trax here. Any other countries got MTV Trax too ??.

08-22-2003, 03:17 PM
I sometimes read Heat magazine, but im not all that interested in english tv and music so i dont want to know about celebrity gossip. Its hard to find chinese magazines in newcastle, so my family in HK send them to me, im not sure what they are called but i just look out for pictures of Jay, and then i have to make my way through the article trying to understand the chinese! :oops:

E-Ping
08-22-2003, 03:39 PM
My favourites magazines are Lime and Galaxie :excited: (especially Galaxie).I bought Galaxie almost every month...love it! It features not just western celebrities but asian as well.They have this column entitled "Bollywood" which features all the south indian and north indian actors and actresses.It's kinda cool coz some indian actors are really good looking.. :bleh: And when they featured Jay's concert in Malaysia a few months back..i actually bought 2 copies of it! :D

08-23-2003, 04:10 AM
hmm vogue and vanity fair.i like to keep up with those hilary duff and the olsen twin gossip so they were on the vanity fair magazine a month ago i think alsong with amanda bynes and lindsay lohan and the rest of the teens.but don't you think that vogues and vanity fair is just a bunch of ads or is it because you like ads.

08-23-2003, 04:17 AM

Other than that, it will be CD Hits. This is a magazine from Japan, it's a monthly magazine and updates me about the new releases in the Jpop scene. Btw, this month's issue is Ayumi Hamasaki~ :happy:

I like to read Penthouse and Hustler.

hmm... did you find it a good read? :laughing:... i always wonder what's in it besides naked pics.

i used to read all those teenage magazines like YM, Seventeen, and Teen People... don't read them anymore... so much advertisements on things that i can't afford :dry: ... those magazines are bad for teenagers... it gives the wrong image on how ppl should look like and dress :-x

anyway, i like to read SmartComputing (i think that's the right title) now... i like how it gives reviews on new items that comes out... there are many tips on how to troubleshoot your computer and it's programs also.

I love to read teenage, i think its great!
I like the column, dear kelly, which teenagers with problem would wrote to her, and kelly would give them advise and help to solve their worries! I think I learnt alot from it, since these problems r from teenagers like us!

Cosmopolitan - the women's bible! I have to read it every month.

I also read some Chinese magazines once in a while. If I go to Chicago Chinatown I'll buy a few, but I only go like twice or thrice a year, so... Sometimes my co-workers would buy them too, so I get to read those as well.

I don't read too many "intellectual" magazines because I already have too much reading assignments for my classes!

the one
03-10-2004, 04:33 PM
i'm usually a subscriber of play station us/uk magazine, teen beat, tiger beat..any of those other celeb magz...and definitely time asia..coz that one's got jay in it. :wink2:

Sha
03-11-2004, 10:36 AM
Australian Cosmopolitan. I subscribe to it and I can honestly say it's the best magazine for girls around my age.

But I just wish they'd put guys on the cover, not girls. I mean, guys' magazines have females on the cover so where's the logic???

hisashiluv14
03-11-2004, 11:24 AM
The only magazine I read on a regular basis is Time magazine, and I'm always excited on Tuesdays 'cause that's the day on which the mag is usually delivered to my house.

I would read The Economist but it's too expensive.

Other magazines I read... well, nothing much. I don't believe in spending money on entertainment magazines; waste of money. Unless, of course, Jielun is on the cover or something. :)

03-11-2004, 11:43 AM
"i-weekly"...
i can't miss any issue of it

_jayrox_
03-11-2004, 11:50 AM
i-weekly and sometimes u-weekly... Because both are chinese magazines and interviews of pop stars can be found...
Sometimes i also will read "lime"

E-Ping
03-12-2004, 01:39 PM
_jayrox_:Lime is pretty entertaining huh?I buy it almost every month.

Anyway,other than Lime,i read Galaxie,Cleo and Seventeen.Actually i really like Smash Hits but it's been so long since i last read it,coz it's soooo damn expensive here.It costs bout RM19.90 here in M'sia :crazy: With RM19.90..i could have bought 6 copies of Galaxie! :oops:

fangtasyz
03-12-2004, 02:07 PM
i used to like lime too but now i don't read it anymore. the more i read it, the more i thought its contents are tasteless. especially the interviews. all those people that they interview just don't interest me enough to read it. i usually buy lime because of the cover. i bought it once because of justin timberlake, but i was disppointed by its cover story. i would rather buy 8 days. other than that, i also read cleo, female and men's health.

04-08-2004, 02:31 AM
oooh well, I think most of you don't know what kind of magazines I read, so I'll try explain to you! :yeah:
Until now, I subscribe Fruits, Zappy and Japan NewType!
They are straight come from Japan!
1>Fruits is magazine about "Harajuku Free Style," loaded with photos of the fashionable young people who walk around Japan's young culture capital, Harajuku. There are all the fashions that young people are wearing now, from imported jeans to cute tops with funny English on them to hair styles and more.
2>Zappy is magazine about JPOP & J-Rock, come with a CD of music & messages from the booming stars right now in Japan!
And 3>Japan NewType is about anime that are coming out new in Japan!
That's all! I still paid with US $! So that's fine to me. Even I'm in U.S.A right now, I can still know the new fashion in Japan! They are cute! I love them all! :love:

Viv
04-08-2004, 02:53 AM
Whenever I get bored... I flip through magazines.

English: Teen people, cosmo girl, seventeen. etc.
Chinese: Yes! ...But I can't really understand it since it's in traditional and i can only read simplified. :oops:

But my most favorite magazine has got to be Disney Adventures. :)

daweng
04-08-2004, 04:13 PM
i seriously can't go past world soccer, mixmag (comes with free sample cd damn good as well) for leisure.

fukakyon
04-18-2004, 04:04 PM
FHM, cos it's a men mag that includes great women and lotsa tips & stuffs, fashion, technology gadgets, jokes, celeb news. A great mag!! :happy:

HK/Taiwan/Jap mags that write gossips and news of celebs from these countries. Milk is a gd mag that have updates of the latest fashion trend.

I do read abt Cleo & Lime bought by my sis. Sometimes it is pretty nice to read ladies' mags! Hmm.. pick up some tips and info from the mags each time I read... :wink2:

scarletwillow
04-18-2004, 06:41 PM
FHM? haha... ^_~

I read Time and Newsweek, as well as US News. I'm a sucker for world politics.
I also used to read Us Weekly (celebrity mag that my mom gets), just to laugh at the stupid Hollywood people cheating on each other.

Oh yeah, I mooch on my roommate's subscription to Maximum PC.

I only buy when they have my favorite artists.. but I usually wait till a week+ to buy them coz they are cheaper :rolleyes:

01-25-2005, 04:53 AM
I LOVE MAGAZINES!!! :D

I love those East Entertainment Magazines (SoCal Edition) that come out once a month and are free. I go pick one up every month from this plaza. I also read anything with Jay in it. >__<

American Magazines? I love YM and Seventeen and those teen magazines. They're great when you're bored.

I also love Tabloids. National Enquirer and STAR. :P

It gives me something to do while I'm supposed to be studying for finals (like now).

lene
01-27-2005, 08:00 AM
I'm a magazine addict too! :excited:

Every month, I have to have my copy of Preview, a local fashion and beauty magazine available in the Philippines. Every once in a while I get a copy of our local version of Cosmopolitan. And also, my month is not complete without a copy of T3 Philippines, a gadgets magazine which originated from UK.

If the cover story is interesting enough for me, I also buy Time Magazine. And when I have the chance, I also purchase HK's Cosmogirl. I love the fashion pieces, tips and most especially the freebies! And some other random Chinese celebrity magazines like Play. I'm usually after the celebrities on the cover; if they're interesting enough for me, I buy the magazines. Can't just live without my regular dose of Chinese entertainment news and gossip! :D

jes!
01-28-2005, 02:20 PM
i also love reading mags! we have a bi collection at home cuz my ssters love reading them too! It's mostly teen magazines like Teen vogue, Seventeen and YM aside from the we also get Preivew every month. I try to get good korean mags too! but only if i can.. aside from those i also love lucky magazine, In Style and Vogue!

retrobaby
01-28-2005, 02:52 PM
I like reading Cosmogirl. I seldom read overseas magazine cuz everytime i see something i like, i never get to buy it! but i think cosmogirl is quite interesting...and what's even better that we have a hong kong version of Cosmogirl! it was great when they had my favorite magazine localised! now i can always visit the shops when i see something nice in the mag!

I read Teen Vogue, Seventeen and YM too!! :D My favourite out of these 3 is YM.. I used to buy it every month, now.. whenever i'm free to go get it. I usually read all these foreign magazines because i find the content and everything better than singapore mags! For Singapore mags, i read 8 days and Lime, that's it.

i'm a music enthusiast so i read Q Mag, MOJO, UNCUT, Rolling Stone and occasionally flick through the odd GuitarPlayer....
they're about the only ones i read.....i steer clear from those brightly coloured teen mags......not my thing.
