WHO GIVES A SHIT: Do You Still Read *Actual* Magazines?

So, for awhile I was on this kick where I was getting all of my magazines on my iPad. Here's why I loved that: MAGAZINES ARE HEAVY AS SHIT. I live in NYC, so everything I need has to get shlepped around in my purse. But on my iPad, I always had all of my mags with me, all of the time (and they were light as a feather).
But somehow lately I've fallen back into my buying actual physical magazines habit. First I had some time to kill before an appt the other day, so I dropped 10 large on a fancy shmancy European design magazine. Then I was sitting at Hunan Delight the other night and waiting for my Chow Fun when some chick handed me a Fast Company on the way out to see if I wanted to read it while I waited.
Well, yes...yes, I did.
Then yesterday on the way home I passed the bodega that sells a billion mags from all over the world and I spent $40 bucks on more.
I used to be magazine obsessed, ppl. Like they would just pile up allllll over our apt. In fact, it got to the point that I was just so overwhelmed by them, I couldn't read any of them.
But now I'm kinda back. And kinda lovin it.
Do you guys still read mags? Have subscriptions? Which ones??
TELL ME NOW.

Still love physical mags. While I enjoy online rags - Matchbook, Lonny, Rue, Ivy & Piper... I still love to flip through a magazine. But we just had a baby and they are piling up and stressing me out! The Washingtonian, In Style, [my mysterious subscription to] US Weekly (seriously, I never ordered this but somehow have a year long subscription), a Lucky subscription that I've long been bored with, husband's Wired mag... And then I can't help but buy the occasional Cooking Light or Real Simple from the grocery store, I picked up the HGTV mag at the train station the other day. Wow, now that I write it out I see that I have a problem. Must. Seek. Help.
