Reader's Digest Magazine

Pros: Very informative, good quality stories

In late 1997 I received a surprise gift in the mail. An issue of Reader's digest. It was a gift subscription from my step father. I had seen this magazine around my parents house for years and always thought of it as "an older persons...

Pros: Quality writing; diverse subject matter
Cons: Only published monthly, rather than weekly!

It would definitely be the Reader's Digest. I have been reading this magazine since I was a teenager, when my mother used to pick it up at the newsstand each month. One of the first things I purchased when I was married in 1982 was a subscription to...

Pros: Quick read, lots of interesting stories
Cons: none that I know of!

Reader's Digest has something for everyone! I have been reading this magazine since I can remember. For some reason, my parents had a bunch of them saved in our attic when I was a little girl. I used to go into the attic, settle down, get comfy and...

Pros: lots of small, well written stories
Cons: some of the articles get pretty hokey

First, a question, is there a bathroom in America that doesn't have a copy of Reader's Digest tucked away someplace? I doubt it, unless the owner of the bathroom is one of the rare breed that doesn't keep a magazine or two in there. Reader's Digest was...

Pros: Great reading material, lots of comedy, and things to enrich your life!
Cons: none that I can think of!

This is the one magazine that I can remember as a child sitting on the bathroom counter. There was always the latest copy of it there and my parents have been subscribers through the years. It is not a full size magazine, but a smaller size. Although it...

Pros: Inspirational, covers real life issues
Cons: High cover price. It is best to become a subscriber if you read this magazine monthly.

I have read many magazines, and I must say that the Reader's Digest is by far my favorite one of all. Open the cover and browse the contents. You will quickly see that there are stories and features that will appeal to almost everyone.

Cons: The cover index is gone, the pay for publication hasn't changed

I have been reading "Reader's Digest" on and off for at least 10 years. I receive a subscription to it every year for Christmas from a relative.

It has changed over the years. The one thing that I have found that has changed the most is...

Pros: Great Scrap Paper - pictures for school projects
Cons: Not worth the Money for the articles and ADS

Warning: Reading of current Reader's Digest magazine may cause you to want to turn on your television to view ads instead! Years ago, Reader's Digest was one of my favorite magazines. I guess I've grown up enough to have outgrown them now. The last few...

Pros: Great concept, bits between articles are good.
Cons: Strong bias, content is mental junk food.

I grew up reading Reader's Digest. If my parents didn't have a subscription to it, one relative or another would, and there were always issues floating around. It was relatively interesting reading in my younger years, though I rapidly tired of the...

Pros: Great articles; lots of humor; condensed stories
Cons: Delivery is slower than molasses!

The only two places I used to see Reader's Digest was in my doctor's office and at my grandparent's house, who always had several back issues stacked on their coffee table next to a framed photo of JFK. A few months ago, I got a card in the mail...

Pros: Interesting, Informative, as well as Funny

The articles are very...

Pros: Easy, quick reading. Inspiring, humorous, touching stories and articles
Cons: a little more expensive than most magazines

If I have 3 minutes while I'm waiting for something, I can pick up the Reader's Digest and read an article. True, some articles are going to take a bit more of a time commitment, maybe 10 minutes or a few more.

I received this magazine as a...

Pros: short stories or feature articles, real life anecdotes

Last summer my mother gave me the task of choosing magazines for free by using her frequent flyer miles. She had a few thousand and I wanted to make sure everyone in the family received a magazine they would enjoy reading. Of the 20 from which to...

Pros: Good human interest stories.
Cons: Ads wish they didn't take up so much space.

Cons: People may think you are over 60

My friend posed this question to me one day, when he saw a copy of Reader's Digest on our coffee table. "No!" I said defensively. "Have you ever read it before?"

"No, not really. But did you ever notice the...
