well i'm are you there
yes yes
okay i'm sure that i probably um prescribe to different magazines ones that you do i take Doll Reader and Doll World
because
different set
because i collect dolls um i also take Better Homes and Gardens
um-hum
i like that and then uh my husband he just uh subscribed to a wood he just started a woodwork so he just sent away to get some woodworking books
oh
so what kind do you uh get
you know
well i have a bunch of computer journals because i'm in computer science but beyond that uh lately i've been reading i've always liked the New Yorker
uh-huh
uh-huh
and lately i've been picking up some of the travel uh both trade magazines and just the general travel magazines
uh-huh
um trying to keep up on what's going on
is it
and my wife also gets a lot of the food magazines Bon Appetite and Food and Wine and Gourmet
yeah i used to take that right
yeah and she and she still likes to get Time
yeah
which i've never liked very much but she seems to
yeah i don't i if i you know if if i happen to find it i'll go ahead and read it someplace you know if i'm in a doctor's office or something like that but other than that i never i never liked that really
do you read a newspaper
i read my newspaper i can hardly wait in the mornings for the newspaper to get here
yeah
you know so i do like to read the newspaper
um and even this little newspaper that Patterson puts out in fact it it puts it out on Tuesdays and Thursdays i can hardly wait to get that to get the local news
but uh other than that
magazines i don't know there's so much advertising in them anymore
some of them i used to get for the advertising like Byte magazine which is uh
oh okay
one of the larger computer ones
i haven't bought it now for about eight years but when i used to get it it was about five hundred pages about three hundred of them advertising
um-hum
huh
because that was interesting i think a lot of the trade magazines are like that
um-hum um-hum
that that half the fun is finding out what all the products are
um-hum um-hum
but you know some of the get ridiculous Travel and Leisure all of the American Express magazines
um-hum
so Travel and Leisure Food and Wine and i think they have some others uh certainly half the pages and maybe more are pure ads plus they have the advertising supplement sections that are supposed to look like articles but are paid for and
it is it's clear that i i've bought some of these through wholesalers and they don't care if they make any money on the magazine subscription they're making everything on ads
yeah right right
yeah well i i only you know subscribe to the things that i'm interested in i used to be into coin collecting so i used to get the coin magazine the paper actually is what it was you know
i used to get that so now that i'm into dolls that's about
um-hum
all i really really want you know
have you ever um read or subscribe to Consumer Reports for any length of time
no huh-uh
um
i think they're interesting
but not worth it
yeah
i i've always had this one of the reasons i like to to pick up magazines in other fields is that you seem to get a very different perspective so
um-hum
i've always had this problem with Consumer Reports that in the areas that i know a lot about i disagree with them
um-hum
and i always wonder whether there are people who know a lot about every area disagreeing with them on everything
or or what's going on
uh-huh
so i've like i've picked up now a subscription to one of the travel agent uh organization magazines and
it's a ridiculous difference when you start reading from their perspective
um you know their major interest is in commissions and
you know there's very little talk about the quality of places or airlines their major talk is about you know commissions and commission rebates and how they won't suggest hotels to people if the commission's not a the full ten percent or whatever it is and
um-hum
it gives you a different perspective on what people do
um-hum um-hum well those travel magazines are that more or less show you different countries that you could go to or
yeah
uh some of them the the general travel magazines do i don't tend to read it for that
um-hum
because i don't expect to be traveling overseas in in the future for quite awhile but i i usually just read through the sections on on domestic stuff
um-hum
um-hum um-hum okay well i don't know any other magazines i could talk to you about
um
i don't take anymore than that
no
yeah i don't take in much more in myself
you know so
okay
well i guess that will be it then and
okay nice talking to you
