I agree totally - much better than Scientific American! I used to get mine from an older, sweet lady who saved them for me after her son finished with them. I've got to go dig up her phone number again - I miss reading them. It's bloody expensive to buy a subscription to it. Feedback is the best part of the week - my required light reading. I love that wry, dry, impeccable British sense of humour. No one can match that! I tried reading Nature a few times but it's too dry & technical, & many of the articles didn't interest me as much. I love my sciences but I still wish to enjoy the experience of good writing too.
Wish I could get some of the other mags you get too, especially history related ones. I gave up saving my older mags after I moved a few times. I gave them to someone I knew would appreciate them & they could lug them about when they moved, if they wanted to.
(Can't you tell I'm a fellow Canuck with how I spell? I figured it was obvious. Listen, hear how I say z (zed)?)
