We drew from all quarters of the periodicals universe in compiling this year's selections. And what can we say about the choices? They're eclectic, accessible and they reflect the tastes of folks who spend a lot of their time immersed in the world of words and images. But magazines are changing a bunch. In the last 12 months, we saw the curtains drawn on Cargo and Organic Style, which made our cut in 2005. Yet some, like gracefully aging performers, remain on the stage: The Atlantic and Harper's. We still like them, as our list shows. But our selections are meant to be a conversation starter, so look them over, then tell us which magazines would be on your list.

Gourmet is good. I'll vote for it. New Yorker was my favorite for a few years.

7. Consumer Reports. Consumer Reports is insufferable. Often I have flung the magazine long and far after reading CR extol the "peppy" acceleration of "snazzy" cars.

I'd add The Week (UK edition). Not a fan their US version at all. Dwell is great if you're a fan of modern architecture and design.

I do like Dwell and Wierd (minus the lib BS
Blender is OK when you're in line at the checkout and the only other thing to read involves what Hollyweird flak is having a baby this week. No Advertising Age or Sky & Telescope?
