We only subscribe to The New Yorker. DH is better at keeping up with that weekly than I am.

Chisue, I don't know how many times over the years I've subscribed to The New Yorker and then dropped it because those weekly issues were piling up. I can't keep up with it either!

Subtitles to foreign movies, especially British ones. We recently watched The Lady in the Van and A Taste of Honey, which I thought was going to be funny (It wasn't), but I still liked it. The Lady in the Van was funnier, but both were primarily dramas. I like to watch comedies for escapist value.

I watch Conversations in Car with Comedians. Hilarious!!!! Netflix

Bookmarks magazine.

I subscribe to The New Yorker and The New York Review of Books, and read The Atlantic online. I spend most of my day reading, both for work and pleasure. I am a news junkie.

Lars, I love A Taste of Honey and that whole era of British films. Have you seen Billy Liar, with Tom Courtenay and Julie Christie? It's funny and poignant at the same time, and my favorite of that period.

ETA: dedtired's post reminded me that we get the dead tree edition of the NY Times every day. I can't start the day without my coffee and my newspaper!

I have a stack of National Geographic magazines waiting for me at work. I brought them a week or so before I went on vacation. I go back tonight.

Other than books or kindle books ... daily local newspaper, some internet sites (a few forums, a few blogs, a few news sites), a monthly magazine (American Orchid Society). I used to take more magazines (gardening, cooking) but got tired of paying for what is essentially a printout of info I can google -- kind of sad, that.

New York Times and Philadelphia Inquirer online every day. Interesting links that pop up on Facebook. Time magazine on line. My email.

Bookwoman, I have not seen Billy Liar, but I do like that period of British movies. I think Georgie Girl fits into that category also, and possibly Blow Up, which is one of my favorite movies.

Il Sorpasso (1962) is another European (Italian) movie that fits that genre of 1960s B&W existential drama. I remember going to see a lot of B&W British movies in the 1960s. They gave me the distorted impression that Britain must be pretty drab - until I saw color photos of Carnaby Street in the late 1960s.

I only read subtitles sporadically when watching Italian movies - partly to see if they are translating correctly - but often they leave out a lot of the dialog, possibly because the Italians speak so fast that there is not enough space for the subtitles, or else they would flash by before one could read them.

Lars, this reminds me of my experience reading subtitles on a Spanish art course I'm taking online. The instructor speaks so rapidly and says so much, yet the subtitles are brief--and often incomprehensible. But sometimes they make me laugh, and these days I find humor every bit as valuable as the art instruction.

I went to see Grease in Mérida, Mexico (because that's where I was when it came out) in English with Spanish subtitles, and I had to read the subtitles at times because the volume was so low that it was difficult to hear. At the beginning of a race in the movie when Alice Ghostley says "Haul a$$!" the Spanish subtitle given was "¡Buena suerte!" That did make me laugh. I saw a French-Canadian movie that same year in Cozumel (about a nun and priest who fall in love and are torn about leaving the church - a common theme, I think), and I had to read the Spanish subtitles when I could not understand the French. It was very obvious what was going on in that movie, however.

I was only thinking of magazines. We get the Chicago Tribune, in ink in the a.m. and online in the afternoon. (The letters are much better than their GOP-slant editorials, especially on Saturdays, when the powers that be think no one is reading.)

As far as subtitles go - we don't watch a lot of TV (or things in that format) but we've been enjoying a steady diet of European series or mini-series. In French, German, a Scandinavian language, etc. Watching them requires reading subtitles. With practice, we've found very little is lost concerning the drama of personal interactions and experiencing the performance skills of the actors. To be honest, some of these series are greatly superior to what's produced in the US. Available on both Netflix and Amazon Prime.

We get: Good Housekeeping, Smithsonian, National Geographic, New Yorker, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, Real Simple, Cook's Illustrated and People. Also, Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine (quarterly) and Sunday Crossword magazine (quarterly).

There is always something to read beyond books at our house.

I like The Week, share with neighbors when I’m finished. I don’t like to get a lot of magazines but since I’m home so much now I subscribed to Smithsonian.
