I was curious what you gearheads read when you aren't reading GRM? I'm not interested in other car mags really, so we can skip those suggestions.

I'll occasionally buy an F1 mag or similar, but the only other magazine I subscribe to is VICE.

So what is GRM reading?

1) Mental Floss - pretty much the only other print magazine I read cover to cover.

2) Smithsonian - used to read this one a lot, lately just subscribing out of inertia.

3) National Geographic - mostly for the pictures. Wait, that didn't sound right.

Due to financial reasons, GRM and Car and Driver are the only ones I am subscribed to currently. These are ones I have subscribed to in the last few years and enjoyed:

RV Magazine - Even if I don't have one

Hobby Farm - Don't let the name fool you, it's actually a great magazine for anyone who lives on some acreage.

Trains - For my railfan needs.

Model Railroader - I've had an on-and-off subscription to this since I was a kid.

Chicago - I visit the city enough to want to keep up with the happenings.

Midwest Living - My wife originally got this for herself, but I ended up enjoying it.

Mental Floss is fun and interesting. No set topic; just a huge variety of subjects, some treated in short blurbs and some in more in-depth articles. I recommend it.

I feel almost lame admitting I only subscribe to Auto-related publications. I read other peoples American Rifleman, Reptiles, and Smithsonian occasionally. Otherwise I Barnes and Noble the rest based on interest.

I have 4 subs and they are all car rags... Now if you want the freebie reads from waiting inline or wife or in the doctors office, I read pretty much everything. I did use up my 2 free issues of Clean Eating magazine and should send them some $ for a subscription.

I subscribe to the NY Times, which is a paper and not a magazine, but I figured I'd toss that in.

And they're raising their rates in Jan to $8.20 a week for the Sunday-only (along with other increases, this is the version I'm on) and I'm non-impressed. Over $400 a year for the thing??

In reply to pinchvalve:

Same here. Did you see the Jeep in the last issue?

I ended up getting my subscription through my Nook becuase it cost a ton less.

I was surprised there was other magazines, period. I keep seeing something called Car and Driver at a friends house.
