i'm a fan of the Economist for all the reasons above...especially for the bite-sized World News Round-up. Great for reading on the plane, but yeah, keeping up weekly might be difficult.

i'm intrigued by New Scientist.

One of my favorites: The Alpinist

Politically, I agree with the Economist nearly 100%. Maybe that's why I don't like it. It's a little pollyannaish, sometimes, and there's not a lot of personality in the writing. It's a good choice for an airplane/train trip, mostly because it's very dense and impresses fellow passengers.

I even like the New Statesman sometimes, although that could just be because it makes a nice change from The Journal of Interpersonal Violence, or Ageing and Society.

I've asked for a subscription to Granta for about the past 5 Christmases; I'm still waiting.

Maybe it's because I'm in college but I associate the Economist with upper middle-class white poli-sci/I.R. majors who want to seem smarter than they actually are.

But I guess I subscribe to the New Yorker and Harper's, which reveals me as a UMC white English major who wants to seem smarter than he actually is.

wtf about the economist lacking personality? it has so much personality that its crazy -- it is a sort of flip, know-it-all personality, but still, its like the maxim to like the wsj's gq or something.
