Reader's Digest Magazine

Pros: Excellent source of reliable information
Cons: Skims the surface of topics

I was shocked to see the majority of the epinions were not favorable regarding this magazine.

My grandmother used to order this for me, but now that she is gone, I pick it up only at doctor's offices and when my husband is deployed.

Pros: Great jokes, excerpts from other books
Cons: Not big enough!

Reader's Digest is my favourite magazine. It is really thick, and has a lot of reading in it.

The jokes and readers' little anecdotes are very funny. I like All in a Day's Work especially. Here's an example from a month or two ago:...

Cons: None

I have read Reader's Digest for several years. When I was younger, all I'd read were the humorous stories that people sent in--Humor in Uniform, Life in These United States, All in a Day's Work... Now, as I age, I find useful information in the stories...

Pros: Good magazine, nice humor and good stories

Pros: Wonderful articles from latest health news, jokes, to dramatic stories.
Cons: Cover table of contents gone. Have to wait a month for the next issue.

I'm the type of person that when I want to read something, I want it to capture my attention right away. I can't read a book that doesn't get interesting until I get to page 100. Well, the Reader's Digest is a magazine that has articles that will...

Pros: It is fairly inexpensive
Cons: none

I started getting this 2 months ago. It was after one of my family members was in the hospital for a cardiac arrest and then surgery. We were there for hours waiting for news on his condition everyday. So, of course I started reading those magazines that...

Pros: very informative
Cons: too many pages taken up in advertisements

I have subscribed to Readers Digest for several years now. I have been surprised many times by the fact that I have read a story only to hear about it later on the television.

Pros: love the digest size
Cons: should cover the art/history/literature world more

I've been a Reader's Digest reader and subscriber for as long as I can remember.

Cons: It can make you cry at times and that may not be such a bad thing.

Reader's Digest has been a part of my life since I was a little girl. I think everyone in my family had this magazine at their house when I was growing up. If a person didn't buy it, they could borrow it from someone.
When I turned 10 I started...
