They just end up in piles stacked throughout my house...then eventually recycled or thrown out.

The thing is that I wait until I see them going for $5 a year and then I renew.. even 2 years at a time for that price. Yup, it's bad.

The Playboy subscription here is read by both my wife and I. I used to subscribe to at least 20 magazines back in the day, but I freelanced for some of them, so that counted for at least 5. I'm now down to 2: Playboy and Vanity Fair. I ran out of time reading all of the others or they failed to keep me informed.

We're always inundated with magazines as well because we have multiple weekly subscriptions and it's hard to not read them since they're relevant to the times. We used to have Entertainment Weekly and I agree it is a fun way to keep up with current entertainment without having to actually watch all the shows etc. You should check out
