The Monday List

It’s that new feature!

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.
