What kind of books or periodicals do you all read? I am curious as to what our photographers, artists, and models (or general members) are reading... I don't usually read anything fashion or photography related... Here are my top magazines. 1. FSB 2. Smithsonian 3. Wilson Quarterly 4. Time Magazine 5. The Artist's Magazine 6. Muscle and Fitness On and off I might pick up the ocassional Vogue, Self, or O (Oprah) Magazine, but I usually stick with my subscriptions.

My B/F reads that Motorcycle Magazine, too... as well as Martial Arts and some other various fitness stuff...

All the "Laddies." I don't read periodicals. But I do pick up fashion mags in wating rooms and call it "research." May 25 05 01:06 pm Link Posted by Reese: nah..he'll come back with "living" by MS..

PDN I really do read National Geographic photo insider(free) Aperture Harper's (that's harper's not Harpers Bazaar for me) But my question is when does MM come out on Internet on books on paper on tape for those times when you have carpel tunnel or you eyes hurt. I also love to read Books on tape on paper for those times when you just want to sit quietly and read an old fashioned paper book. Or for when you tape player is broken.

I read those along with V, W, Tank, Zink, Nylon, Surface, Flaunt. There are a few photography books I like is the View Camera Arts, B&W, and PDN.

As for Mechanical Engeinering, I read ASME newspaper, NSPE newspaper, Journal of Light Construction, Accident Reconstruction Journal, Fire Findings, NFPA newsletters, and HVAC periodicals. I used to subscribe to a few mathematics trade magazines, but I am not getting them anymore. I'll read/scan the NY Times from email. Otherwise, I am reading books on everthing from religion to art.
