Oh yes, top gear. Autobuffs MUST read it, and non autobuffs should read it too because its so darned awesomely funny. Clarkson cracks me up without fail.

ShinAsakura , TopGear got cool cars wallpaper inside?

Cool cars wallpaper? Erm, nope. But what's that beside the magazine?

OMG!
A must buy automobile mag!

I used to buy men's health, but i stopped buying last year
Great mag for workout programme and also for diet.

I see.
So now you don't have any favorite magazine?

Nope, not willing to spend on magazine
I rather buy books

Hehe. Okey.
To me , I read magazines to improve my knowledge.
And ofcourse , its fun too!

I also stop Men's Health d. Lazy to buy haha.....

but it's really good as it provides lots of knowledge regarding food, exercises, and things should do or avoid for men. Great mag like TGM!

I used to be a avid reader of PC Gamer magazine when I was back in Malaysia.

Won a Nokia N-gage from one of its contest

Wow , congrats!

Ps:I'm sure there are thousands of PC related mags in Japan.

MAX-IT

^^My favourite....

You can subscribe what.

Awesome!

How about the more intellectual mags? I'm a subscriber of Time and Nat. Geo. Time is weekly and pretty good if you want to read about current global issues, but they can be abit biased. National Geographic is filled with pretty pictures and amazing articles. Its like traveling the world without leaving your living room.

Hey , I'm a Nat Geo subscriber too.

I used to buy girl's magazine like female & cleo but now I'd rather spend
it on Nat.Geo or review magazines esp. Stuffs etc.

Talking bout environment stuff, I do have few issues of WWF Malaysia monthly mag ever since my mom joined the group. These are the old issues with the car sticker, lazy go out take the current issue



They're not bad, make us aware of the floral and fauna abound to be extinct, which to be saved, how much money spent on conserving the nature and such, all in our own soil instead of the common overseas stuff.

But Nat Geo still gets my vote, unless Discovery gets around my eyes

Good stuffs , ShinAsakura.
Those mags not available at my place though.

Erm, I believe they're not for sale. Only for members I guess. Since they deliver to my doorstep

No wonder.
Those cover pictures , really cought my attention.

Yeah. The book in the middle was showing a black animal right? That's the mythical unicorn everyone believes to be fantasy.

It's common name is Serow, from the family Bovidae, of the genus Capricornis (sometimes Naemorhedus), scientific name is
C. Sumatraensis - Found in Central and Southern China, Himalayan region, Burma, Thailand, Indochina, Peninsula Malaysia and Sumatra.
C. Swinhoei - In Taiwan
C. Crispus - In Honshu, Shikoku and Kyushu in Japan.

They're about the size of a donkey, with 2 symmetrical horns, black colour in common and have course mane. This animal is very elusive until there was no sightings, let along the high quality images and video footage. Amazing eh?

Thats amazing. Indeed.
This is a new thing for me.
And all are from Asia? I'm amazed!

For now, my must buy magazine every month is GameAxis, since it covers games from consoles to PC and Anime! Used to be a PC Gamer and Galaxie reader, but due to the total cost I spent on magazines a month, cut PC Gamer since GameAxis is cheaper and has more coverage and Galaxie, well, they have a blog, so read from there.

come to think of it, i seldom buy magazines

PC Gamer - company has several issues every mth
Female /Cleo - my sister buys it and I just read

but occasionally I do get KLUE or TimeoutKL depending on what the issue is about . Both are magazines about food, arts, culture & music in KL And most are available on their website anyway

If there was a history on me, 5 years ago I was already a big fan of Gempak magazine, and all of a sudden, I land a job there as one of the editors

Really?
Thats great.
I have a few of Gempak magazines.

Wow.
I've read WASABI before.
Best! Haha!

Magazines that I used to buy:

-Galaxie
-Cleo
-Female

suscribed before for 2-3 years.

My sister suscribe:

1. TIME
2. FORBES

I just tumpang read

Now I don't buy on monthly basis, just buy on and off or when I feel like buying. Among the mags that I will buy on and off:

- CLEO
- Female
- Reader's Digest
- Personal Money
- TimeOut KL

i seldom buy magazine, provided i will buy it if i really got nothing to read
my parent will order National Geographic and Reader Digest

Personally , I think Readers Digest and Nat Geo are good enough.

Chip Magazine
Give a try.

Reader Digest is easier to carry around as the magazine is in small size
Nat Geo is amazing won't get bored of its content, last few years there is some missing issue and i think somebody in the post office stole it

comicbooks for me.

I like Nat Geo as well..used to like cleo but they are so boring right now. not in touch with the rest of population I think.

Thats right.
Small , nice and pack!
Love it.

Oh wow , feel sorry to hear about that.
Thats terrible.

but i sense the contain for reader digest dropping down for these few years, maybe just my 2 sense

my mum did complain to Nat Geo and Pos Malaysia, after that no more issue missing

Sometimes I feel the same thing too but yeah , its hard to satisfy all readers around the world.
Btw , the interview with the new US President is awesome.
I enjoy reading that.

I read TENNIS (published in US) magazine, the best tennis magazine imho. other versions of tennis magazine that i read include ACE (UK publisher), australian tennis.

it's very expensive to buy these overseas imported magazines, so normally I buy back issues at the magazine shop near Sg. Wang.

other magazine I read is V Mag. I love to see those fashion designs and get more info about cosmetics and skin care products

Perhaps you want to try Audrey as well.

Magazines I Subscribe:

TIME
GameAxis
EDGE

Magazines I buy irregularly:

Newsweek
GQ
Stuff

TIME is sweet.
Kinda RD style too.

My parents subscribed to RD, so I used to read a lot of it when I lived with them. Found it a bit.... evangelical & full of self-help creeds after a while, IMO.

I did like the humour sections though...

Yeah , I noticed that too.

Massa: where to get Audrey magazine? is it available at all magazine stores?

darky , I'm not sure where to get Audrey mag.
I only read it online.
Btw , it is not available at my place , which is JB.
I dunno about KL or Selangor.

Have you try Her World ?

This post has been edited by Massa: Feb 17 2009, 11:32 PM

I've read Her World before, don't really like its content

recently i've cut down on reading fashion magazines...but will still buy one or two to read when i'm free

This post has been edited by darky: Feb 18 2009, 10:17 PM

I see.
Okey.

Oh ya , if you have extra time , why don't you take a look at Glamour Magazine's website.

This post has been edited by Massa: Feb 18 2009, 11:18 PM

I normally read Time and Fortune.
What do you guys do with your old magazine, do you resell it or recycle it?
Am thinking what to do with my old ones.

I choose and keep my magazines.
The rest , I sell them.
Sometimes I exchage my mags with my friends and my relatives.

Ooo, where do you sell it?
2nd hand book/mag sellers?

Yea , you know , people who buy old papers or old books?
I sell my mags to them.

i used to read it back when i was still a student.. flying back balik kampung needs a little books like Reader Digest.. subscribed and sent to my home at kampung and that was the sole reason why i can't read it now doh

anyway. i was lured back to read books and thanks to my spouse who encouraged me to read again

Can't agree more.
Very useful , anytime and anywhere.

Owh.
Subscribe again , no?

i like our local mags like I.M. Magazine & KLue. i like them for their coverage on whats happening around KL (and a bit more on Malaysia) - the fun stuff that is. And also the talents they feature - talented Malaysians, who need a space to get known

I.M. Magazine is extra nice nowadays to me.. cos my book reviews are now featured on their magazines every month (the best 2 local books that is)



sample of my first book review with them hehe

Hey.
I read Reader's Digest and I love it so much.
Such a perfect book for my leisure time or should I say, anytime.
My favorite section - 'Relationship'. The 'Relationship' section is not only about couple or marriage though, but they also touch on family matters. That is why I love it.
Good day and happy reading!

My favorites will be I.M Magazine

How about Reader Digest?

Hello all, I apologize for using this thread because I am unable to create my own.. so my question is: Is there anywhere/ shops in Malaysia that sells Japanese magazines like Monthly Asuka and Cheese! because I would like to buy from a store rather than using online purchase. Thanks in advance and for reading my post.

Once more, sorry for using this thread because I am unable to create one myself.

Land Rover Owner

Digital Photography

these 2 the the one i bought monthly
