None. Still thinking to Subscribe to Nature & Science (paper offline version)

The Economist. I occasionally buy a copy of the Financial Times if I've got a long train ride, and maybe a copy of Bicisport, too:-)

The Times, occasionally The Guardian (paper versions as they're easier to scroll and have better picture quality than the web versions).

none. as far as I can tell, the sort of thing I'm interested in is delivered faster, better, and in a more convenient format for free here online. I occasionally read the IEEE "computer" publications my girl leaves laying about the house, but those are mostly about things I don't care much about. Occasionally they talk about new networking tech.

Paper is just so hard to deal with. I mean, I keep books, but periodicals are somehow more... disposable?

Congrats on meeting a girl who leaves IEEE laying about the house! Treat her well! ;-)

there really are easier ways to get a subscription, you know.

Economist at 70% (student) discount/FT full blown corporate sub from my time there as a journalist

The New Yorker for fun reading. The Week for a light digest of the news. National Geographic for my wife. I'll likely subscribe to NYTimes when it goes behind the paywall.

Work provides the technical publications.
