Subversive, or at least Interesting, Magazines

[browngirl]

So, yesterday at my appointments (I had some medical things done) I found myself rummaging through Women's Weekly, Women's World , and Women's Wonderfully Internalized Gender Roles and thinking about leaving the Saveur and Cook's Illustrated issues I had, just so that there would be some other options. That got me to thinking about leaving issues of non-stultifying magazines around at doctor's offices and waiting rooms. Maybe I should have bought that pile of back issues of Asimov's someone was selling the other day.

So, what sorts of magazines would work for this kind of thing? Not Outre', but at least less... normative, I guess.

I've always wanted a subscription to Women's Wonderfully Internalized Gender Roles!

Ummm... I'd love a good issue of Scientific American in the doctor's office. American Scientist sometimes also has funny cartoons in it. Ooo - speaking of cartoons, I bet the New Yorker would get stolen faster than anything, if you left some at the doctor's office (err... meaning people would like reading it).

My psychologist's office actually usually has old copies of the New Yorker in the waiting room.
