Taking the lead from the subthread on Uncle Wheaty’s ‘Why do you like…’ post, i thought a general survey on lifelong reading habits might be interesting/revealing/possibly unsurprising/a divertissement for a cold and grey February (at least in Europe).
My reading history from childhood to now, with those in parentheses being things I got some but less enjoyment from at the time (sometimes guilty pleasures):
Beano (& Bunty) -> Look & Learn (& Look In) -> Punch (& Steve Bell in The Guardian) -> NME (& Melody Maker) -> New Internationalist (& Staggers) -> Utne Reader (& Philadelphia Inquirer) -> The Economist (& Prospect) -> The Word (& The Week) -> The Guardian online (& Feedly)
