The Monday List
Monday, February 26, 2007 at 6:34PM Top Ten Magazines
Private Eye - indispensable for the politically minded (and worth it just for the Street of Shame media pages)
The New Yorker - excellent if you have time on your hands; beautifully presented and insightful essays (see also Vanity Fair)
The New York Review of Books - wonderful, brilliant, unequalled
EDGE - “Digital Culture”, or as we on planet Unpretentious call it, “gaming”
The Financial Times Arts & Weekend magazine - easily the best of the supplements
National Geographic TRAVELER - worth it for the photography, and some excellent tips for the traveller
Singletrack - quarterly cycling magazine, difficult to track down. Again the photography is brilliant
The New Statesman - better for the revamp, and still occasionally controversial
Mojo - the best music magazine not called Rolling Stone (and their free CD's are excellent)
Monocle - A new one this. If fact it made the list on the strength of one issue. If this magazine delivers on its remit as a Der Spiegel for the anglosphere (a stylish and culturally savvy world briefing), then it has itself another subscriber

Singletrack is up to 7 issues a year now. The latest had a stunning photo from on Dollywagon Pike.
Excellent.
I don't buy it too often now as I can't ride as often due to back trouble. But come the summer, if I feel fruity, I'll pick up a copy
You missed out Viz.
Hey septicisle,
Funny you should say Viz. The other day I was in a shop needing to spend a fiver to be able to use a card, and I checked the magazine rack and there was very little choice, but there was a copy of Viz and a World Soccer. The WS was last months and I haven't read Viz since Uni so I got my sister some chocolate. I remember thinking I had made a mistake.
