<p>Like many other people, I read Newsweek and Time, but I'm now interested in The New Yorker.
Any Advices?
I know the New Yorker is extremely reputable in lit circles and with critics, but I was wondering if the reading was overly esoteric or the like.</p>
<p>Also, I'm beginning to think it's redundant to read both Newsweek and Time.</p>
<p>Are there any other good literary or news magazines (a.k.a. Atlantic, Harper's, even the Economist, etc.)?</p>
<p>The two magazines you need to read are: </p>
<p>Economist for discussion on world politics, affairs, and business
New Yorker for culture. </p>
<p>There you go.</p>
<p>the economist, the new yorker, and scientific american are great magazines, and they're all very accessible. you don't need to be a expert in any of the fields that those magazines deal with to understand and appreciate them.</p>
<p>How big are these magazines?
I'd like to read these, since I'm getting tired of newsmagazines. However, I don't want to have to set aside 2 or 3 hours each week just to get a glimpse of the magazine.</p>
<p>Psychology Today!!</p>
<p>The New Yorkers great, but unless you have a hell of a lot of time, don't have it delivered to your house. I get an issue a week, and I've only read about half of them because I just don't have the hours to read them. If I got one every three weeks, it'd be awesome. Do you have the opportunity to buy it off the stand where you live? I'd do that. It's a great magazine if you like random stuff and dense language and sarcastic writing. I personally love it.</p>
<p>The Sun -- literary magazine of sorts. It can be interesting, if you're a liberal.</p>
