That's about all I can afford but I find them all necessary in different ways. The New Yorker and The Atlantic gives me information I can't find anywhere and White Crane's improved over the years and still gives me access to Gay voices I hear rarely. And I like to support little independents like that.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-246000">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> I subscribe to the New Yorker, The Atlantic and G&L Review and White Crane.

I do make sure I pass on those I've bought to others...my version of recycling them. Sometimes I'll take a big pile of them over to one of the Assisted Living/Nursing Homes nearby..they really seem to appreciate any sort of reading material. ~ Roland<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-245997">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Hi Holly,

Instead of paying for subscriptions, I just check out a few on our weekly library trip. The only catch is that they recently changed the borrowing policy and I now need to manage the incurring of late fees better. I do, however, consider the $2-$5/month part of my support to local libraries.<p class="top-comments">Current score: <span class="top-comments-karma" id="karma-245927">0</span> <small>(to vote for this comment, please visit the site)</small></p> Turns out our local library has magazines that you can borrow.
