My Semi-regular request for magazines

So, I work in a hospital, which has a lot of waiting rooms, and I try to help keep those waiting rooms stocked with interesting and varied magazines beyond the latest issues of Huswyf's Heteronormative Fortnightly. So if you have any magazines which are lying around waiting to be donated or recycled, please toss them in an envelope and media-mail them to me (address on request) and I'll bring them in to work.

I'm especially looking for three kinds of magazines (though I'll take anything non-pornographic (well, you can send me porn, too, I just won't bring it to work): 1) literary magazines, especially science fiction, fantasy, and other speculative fiction; children's magazines ; magazines in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, or Korean (we have a large
proportion of Asian clients, and I rarely see anything in their languages in the wiaitng rooms_. Whatever you send me, thank you a LOT, and I will do my best to send something nifty in return!

A word of caution - magazines don't technically qualify for media mail, unless they are educational journals that contain no advertising. (The rules are ridiculous and picky. I am still miffed I can't send my coloring books media mail.)

That aside, if I had any laying around, I would be sure to mail them your way.

Huh. They've never questioned me on all sorts of paper and magazines. You should totally be able to mail your coloring books media mail! That's not fair!
