I know, and I used to do that - even reading the art listings - but I have a toddler, I work at home, and I have been spending an inordinate amount of time on a very addictive online forum (
) so something had to go. I always read the film reviews, the short story, and at least one of the longer articles. I also do sonething super-dorky: if I read a particularly great issue, or an amazing sotry or article, I sharpie "save" on the cover, and write down the reason I am saving it. I have a stack of these from way back.
