THEME Magazine is THE best magazine out there. They recently won the UTNE Independent Spirit Award for Best Designed Magazine. Word up! Pick one up – they sell out quick at places like B&N, but you can find copies at MacNally Robinson, Reed Space and Zakka.

I’m from the Philippines and I am also an entertainment magazine editor so I like fluff. I read all the OK! editions (but just flip through the non-English ones), People, Entertainment Weekly, Vogue, InStyle and a local fashion rag called Preview.

When I have extra time, I squeeze in Time, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Elle and Allure. When I have tons of time, then I add Cosmopolitan, Harper’s Bazaar, Marie Claire, T3, Playboy, WIRED, National Geographic and I quite enjoy the magazine of The Peninsula (yes, the hotel).

Do you want to test a bit of Spanish magazine?
Try QUO (www.quo.es) (www.quochina.com) (www.quoweb.com.mx), Hilarious and rigorous popular science from Madrid to Shangai to Mexico DF

Or Muy Intersante (older and serious science in images)

XLR8R is the only music magazine I read religiously every month, great music coverage and design.

Psychology Today makes the most current psychological research readable and relatable.

Jalouse is like a younger, French version of American Vogue.

Also Shambhala Sun, New Scientist, Dummy, Seed.

Also, even though it’s online Slate Magazine is great. http://www.slate.com

Beside local (Italian) news magazines this is what I love:

- Wallpaper
- Monocle
- Financial Times’ How to spend it
- TIME

For the firt two is all about a father-and-son story. They’re complementary and both necessary.
The third one is a fancy “divertissement”
The fourth one doesn’t need any further motivation.

Check out Idealog from New Zealand. It is a business magazine devoted to the creative economy (possibly the only one in the world). The stories are interesting and the design very competent.Idealog website Disclosure: I co founded the title, though am not involved in its daily operation.

I don’t see a mention of Paste anywhere. I also read More and Shape.

Wired
I have read and own every single issue since its launch. Cover to cover.

Rolling Stone
I get almost every issue, though this one I tend to skip more easily. Always something interesting to read, but strangely the most interesting articles are not about music. Love the movie critics by Peter Travers.

Rolling Stone Chile
They actually have a Chilean edition (I’m from there). I try to at least get the end-of-year annual with the review of the year’s best albums/artists so I can stay connected with what’s happening down there.

Seed
The beautiful design and photography is what got me interested, and I stayed for the articles.

Dwell
I renovated my loft some time ago, and am still «in the process». This mag gives me great ideas and inspiration. Strangely, most of the featured houses are full of IKEA furniture.

Urbania
Local Montreal urban magazine, which started as a Colors wannabe, but has evolved into something rich, witty and interesting.

Juxtapoz
Keeps me up to date on the (a certain) art scene.

Giant Robot
It’s all about Asia. Asian art & culture is taking over the world and I’m prepared.

I.D.
Not the fashion mag, but the design mag. The art direction is always top notch, the articles are on the light side, but the pictures are great!
