Titolo: English Magazines

Hi all.
Which English magazines do you like the most?
I have tried Newsweek but have found it really boring, it focuses on
American politics and the like...
I have then bought Focus (English version) and have found it quite
interesting, unfortunately a little too expensive here in Italy.
I am curious to hear about your choices!
Ciao,
Franco

Well, if that's not what interests you, read something else.
You can subscribe to things via post if they're not readily available
in Italy. I subscribe to: "Scientific American", "Go World", "The Annals
of Improbable Research", "New Scientist", "SysAdmin", "Abstract Games",
and a journal about writing computer programs to play games like chess
and Go (don't remember the name).
I have, in the past, had subscriptions to Skeptical Inquirer,
Flagship (magazine about play-by-mail games), Amiga magazines
and probably other things that I forget.

It is not boring because of that; it is boring because it panders to an 
excruciatingly average readership.
If good writing is what you are after, go for the New Yorker, The 
Atlantic Monthly or Harper's Magazine (mind, not Harper's Bazaar..)

When I was in Europe, I used to like "The Economist", but I haven't
read it in quite a while.

I read The Economist. Once you subscribe, you can register free of charge
to read it online, while still getting the print version weekly.
"Expensive" is relative. I am afraid, though, that The Economist may cost
you more than Newsweek. It would be ideal if you had easy access to a
public library that has The Economist or other English magazines to your
liking in its reading room.

I subscribe to the New Yorker. When the subscription runs out, I
always let it lapse. Then I get a desperate letter in the mail,
offering one year for $25. You can't beat that price!

Thank you all for your feedback.
Focus treats enjoyable topics and its English is really easy to read.
It costs 8.6 Euros at the newsagent, since it is an imported
magazine... On the cover I can read £3.25!
I know that there are plenty of interesting readings on the Internet,
but I always prefer to read in bed and relax. Long life to paper!  :-)

I have a deal for you. If you like reading Focus English version I can
send it to you from the UK once I read it at a fraction of the price,
send me an email if you are interested. Magazine to you first, money
to me after.... fair and square.

or even better I will send you the UK Focus mag and you send me the
Italian Focus mag

to me after.... fair and square.
Hi Roberto, 
I much appreciate your willingness but I think that if we consider the
shipping costs, the deal is no more worth the bother... Don't you
think?
Ciao,
Franco

 think?
I'll ask the post office, it shouldn't cost much possibly 1.5 euros. I
let you know....

I read The Economist. I am not familiar with Focus and therefore cannot
compare the two.
