PrisonShip Self-Cleaning Survey Module: Name Yr Subs!

Let's talk periodicals!

Name 5 such publications that yr household subscribes too.

I'll start:
1) The American Prospect
2) The New Left Review
3) Baseball Digest (!)
4) Anthropology of Work Review (snore!)
5) Artforum

(I wish I could mention Backstreets, the official fan publication of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band; however, I let that sub elapse when Bruce put out that fucking Pete Seeger alb. I mean, who the fuck cares, am I right? And didn't Pete Seeger name names in the Party when the heat came down? That's how Tom Scharpling tells it.)

we take:
1) the new yorker
2) orion
3) sun
4) mothering
5) Delta Waterfowl

1, 5, and sometimes 2 are mine; shayna is the primary reader for the others. academic journals go to campus, so they don't count as "househould" pubs, but, for the record, these include The hemingway review, interdisciplinary studies in literature and environment, and western american literature.
