I was bored and thought about how others read a car magazine they have just bought?
Do you read it all as soon as you get home, or only parts that interest you...........?
Personally, I flick through the pages and see whats in it and then I start by reading the letters section. I then try to make the mag last for as long as possible by only reading one article every few days, usually leaving the most interesting one for last.
I do this because otherwise the next day I already want to buy a new mag and would soon run out of money....lol.
Let me know how you guys/girl(s) go about it.

well first I go through it and check out the pics then I read the most interesting article. later I will read the other articles and finally by the end of the month I read the editorials too. when I'm in school I will read them between classes. I get soo many magazines I don't always finish them all so maybe a month or so later I may pick up an old issue and finish it or re-read an article.

yeah because reading isn't worth free time instead you should watch useless TV shows (not always something good on) or search the net for porn. It may suprise you but many people me included actually read books and magazines. And between classes I do get bored sometimes so I read it can expand your knowledge you know.

I read it from front to back... in that order :D

I get a few magazines each month, so sometimes i have a backlog which i clear by reading at night, or on the shitter :P :wink:

I get about 2 to 4 mag a month. I run though the pages quickly and see the pix.. Then I start reading about the car in the cover page :mrgreen: then I just go along and read all the big articles with nice car pix.. then I read the How to do then I read the letters. I mostly read before I go to bed not every day though.

Before I go on rock climbing camps etc. I always pop a mag or two into the shoping trolley to have something to read. First I just whizz through to see what's ahead of me, then I read the stuff that interests me the most first. After two weeks I have usually read every article 2-3 times.

I follow these steps:
1) I flip though the pages, remembering where the most interesting reviews are.
2) Read the letters that people sent in
3) Read editorials
4) Read the rest starting with the most interesting reviews from step 1.
Usually I finish in 1 day.

When i get a car mag in the mail I will browse through the entire magazine, then read what interests me.
Then wait for the next issue to arrive a month later....
hahaha yes some of them are "crapper reads" so i guess they've been tagged. :lol: :lol:
