if you read the right things, the periodicals % can go as up as 40% the economist, foreign affairs and even many lifestyle magazines have powerful coverage and the fact they have to / manage to compete with online publishers encourages quality my split would be more like 50% books, 40% periodicals, 10% all else

i resubscribed to the print economist last night after cancelling it years ago. I found they can lean more speculative than I'd like, especially with politics, but I enjoy their international coverage and special editions so much I plan to skip. for periodicals i used to read - foreign affairs - laphams - the independent what do you like?

These regularly: - london review of books - the economist - foreign affairs - the rake I'll be adding Le Monde Diplomatique as I ramp up my french But what I like to do is buy odd issues of lifestyle / fashion / culture magazines, different angles on the world (and from younger generations, frankly) bring serendipity and keep me fresh I check these out from time to time https://antimofm.notion.site/025f95f234474c73b17d18cb2858ac8e?v=74a1469c9e3348aca3f1e4ff90216791&pvs=4
