Do You Read Alternative Magazines, what are they?

I really like AdBusters, a magazine I found in my local co-op store and really liked the last two issues and think I might subscribe.
I also like BrainChild: the magazine for thinking moms, I love reading their 'NutShell' feature to catch up on recent happenings that affect mothers, or new laws or policy. They also have a debate every issue and thats interesting, they touch on interesting topics that you normally don't find in other parenting magazines. One of my favorites was a article called "Mother's of the Serengetti" about this introverted mother who worried that she was rubbing off on her chld and decided to be a part of the superhero 'Soccer Mom Gang' and the outcome was suprising, the articles are really funny and I like that I can count on the laugh.
I read NEXUS, but not recently but still I like the in-depth articles and science I learn in it but still its not considered main-stream as they do also focus on extraterrestrials, epidemics, and secret societies, I read it every other month.

I don't know if these are considered alternative or not, but I enjoy Mother Earth News, Backwoods Home, Newsmax and Christian History and Biography. As you can see, I have a variety of interests!
Most mainstream magazines become boring to me in a hurry and I hardly ever read things like Good Housekeeping or Family Circle. They're all the same thing, it seems.

I completely agree with you about mainsteam magazines, I hardly read National Geographic like I used to, I actually like the really old ones from the library from the 60s. I like Mother Earth and all the tips for living green they include. I wish I had a yard so I could try gardening, I just live in a apartment but we might be moving within the next year.
It's interesting to hear about this new revolution in 'Recycled Homes' and theres a show on the science channel I think that talks about stuff like that. I am interested in history and occasionally browse Christian History and Biography for archealogical finds--you know in Turkey (where my bf is from) they are actually in the process of building a subway that goes under the sea but they ran into this great archeological find where they found a REAL OLD shipyard and they had to stop everything until everything was dug up, I think its still under way.



I missed that about the shipyard, I'll have to go look it up!
