Yes, I read a lot of magazines (as of last count, I have 36 active subscriptions!); but one publication that's been getting a good deal of attention from me is Monocle. Edited by Tyler Brule, the former editor-in-chief of Wallpaper* Magazine, I liken the magazine to a smart man's Town and Country. The articles are all well-written (it is after all Mr. Brule who popularized Wallpaper for the articles), the layout is something I respond to, and it deals with none of the pop culture fluff that seems to have pervaded many dead trees on the racks nowadays. It doesn't take itself too seriously, offering the occasional fashion editorial every now and then, but regardless it's a good read from cover to cover. Monocle in the US is available at Barnes & Noble and Borders Books and CDs branches nationwide. $10 a copy; monthly; visit www.monocle.comImage from magculture.com
