Great list!
Off topic, but I had no idea the Reader’s Digest still existed.
My Grandfather gave me a yearly subscription to the Readers Digest for a birthday present. I always got mond in the mail before the new edition hit the store shelves by grocery store checkout lanes.
So I always had seen the new covers first ahead of the public.
One year my grandfather passed away.
I was going through a grocery checkout, saw the new month’s edition and realized I hadn’t seen it before and that it wS because HD had died and not sent it to me. All I could do to make it through checking out my items. No one else there would have understood. Grew up a little that day.
Same here. Most are reprints of previously published rd articles.
I miss Their books. They were great brief read alouds.
Right... IIRC they kinda faded off during the Clinton years!
