Pros: Serious literary, political and social commentary by the best of today's writers. Cons: Today's writers suck.
There's a very good reason why the "Atlantic Monthly" can invariably be found in crisis centers and psychiatrists' waiting rooms across the country: it's the literary equivalent of washing down a half-dozen Quaaludes with a bottle of...
Pros: Intellectually stimulating; Articles from well- known journalists and authors Cons: Some articles are very long.
If you’re the type who likes reading about current events, social trends, and public policy than one magazine you will likely enjoy is The Atlantic, a magazine that offers thought- provoking articles on the important issues of the day. ...
Pros: Thorough articles, wide area of coverage Cons: Can be a little dry
The Atlantic (Monthly) is one of America's longest running periodicals, now in its 151st year of publication since being founded by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Many of its articles deal with current events, but the magazine also publishes fiction and ...
Pros: Brilliant cover essays by well-informed writers, reliable old standby, a lot of text for the buck Cons: Uneven, lacks focus, and the 'filler' leaves much to be desired
I've subscribed to this off and on for a decade now, and the only major change has been to re-add the "Monthly" to the title. This probably means I don't understand the magazine very well, and I don't, even if I do like it.
Pros: readable and informative Cons: bad issues exist
Back when I was in graduate school, I was constantly pressured to keep up with all the latest developments in academia, especially on political issues. That was why I subscribed to a bunch of magazines. I got Time, Newsweek, and US News. I kept Time....
Pros: interesting, in-depth, various, apropos Cons: long-winded and earnest, newly raised subscription rates with reduced issues, too many lit reviews
I have been an Atlantic subscriber more or less continuously since 1993, when I ran across it in college and I realized that it a)was interesting and b)made me feel smart and knowledgeable. (the same reasons I started listening to NPR) Since the ...
Pros: Insightful political and social commentary, good fiction and poetry, a long history Cons: Recent change in editor makes future uncertain
Here's an indicator of The Atlantic Monthly's historical status: its first offices are a stop on the Freedom Trail, the walking tour of Boston's historical sites. Founded in 1857 by Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell...
Pros: Low cost brain food Cons: No practical information for living
If you are an aficionado of Moe, Larry, and Curly or The Three Stooges, this magazine is probably not for you. However, if you are a graduate student, a PHD, or you scored well over 1400 on the SAT's, The Atlantic Monthly is your kind of magazine. ...
Pros: Very thought-provoking, Cons: Too highbrow for people who want articles on the Hollywood stars, etc.
Even if I don't always agree with the articles in _Atlantic Monthly_, I always appreciate the good writing and wide range of topics in this magazine.
We got this subscription as a gift, and I look forward to each month. The topics range from...
Pros: Good image, pretty adds for Bombay Sapphire Cons: boring and pedantic
Along with the New Yorker, the Atlantic Monthly is the magazine of the intellectual, the person who wishes to keep up with the latest trends in academia and the political landscape. It can often be found in office waiting rooms because it lends an air...
Pros: the magazines depth Cons: comes out only once a month
Right up front I must tell you about my complaints about this magazine:
1- It only comes once a month, I know it says monthly on the cover, but I would prefer the “Atlantic Weekly”.
2- It is too short! I can’t help myself I read each issue...
Pros: Consistantly delivers top notch content and writing Cons: Only comes but once a month
The Atlantic Monthly is the magazine that I trust the most to have intelligent and interesting content. I read the Atlantic for the following reasons
(1-2) great feature articles about an interesting subject that is very well written from an...
Pros: Thoughtful articles, intelligent commentary. Cons: Wish it was a weekly
Break out of your Stovepipe!
In my professional life, I have a (normal) tendency to read periodicals which cater to general business and Information Systems in particular. Those magazines keep me up to date on Business and Industry trends, as...
Pros: A shelter from the storm of infantilism Cons: Remarkably few
This is one of the few magazines left on the newsstand that doesn't base its business model on celebrity gossip, celebrity interviews, celebrity news, something you can buy, self-help advice, body worship or political diatribes.
Admittedly, my attention span can waver on the brink of Attention Deficit Disorder, but no magazine inspires such low praise as Atlantic Monthly. This dread magazine arrives, as if by some perverse force, in my mailbox, and forever collects dust. I...
The Atlantic Magazine - 2 year(s) 20 issues - Directed to the serious amateur artist. Includes feature articles written by artist's for artist's, highlighting today's art work and work...
