After i started discussion about Puzzles and Fin a Word, it come to my mind about Readers Digest. as its also good source to enhance your Vocabulary.
So who have read it, and who are still reading it

Hello cupid.....Oh its ages since I laid my hands on that book.....Well infact in my college days I used to devour them with great fervour.The humour in uniform,the real life stories,and other articles were really interesting...But some where along the way I stopped reading them or subcribing to them.And both my boys have no reading habit.....Well this discussion is really making me nostalgic,and I would love to lay my hands on one pretty soon.....!!

When I was younger Readers Digest were available everywhere I turned. I pretty read them from cover to cover, my favorite things being the jokes. It is funny though as I think about this, I can not remember that last time I have even held a Readers Digest. I will have to look for one next time I'm at a bookstore, just for old times sake.

Hi Cupid,
It is good to know that you are utilizing your time encouragingly. Readers Digest is a reputed Magazine by worldly. I was a subscriber of the RD about 8 years and I didn’t renew the subscription last year just because of not getting time for reading. I kept all the old issues safety for reading my kids when they grow up. I will definitely subscribe the magazine in future for my kids.

Hi cupid! My grandmother used to read Readers Digest when I was a child. I do remember reading it myself to after a while. I really liked it. I'm glad you brought it up because I hadn't thought about it in a while! I'll definately have to see if I can find one and maybe subscribe.

I loved this magazine! Reader's Digest has always been one of the most favorite magazine since my childhood days. I have collected a lot of old readers digest issues from the nineties and today , my niece too enjoy reading them. I used to read each and every page from this brilliant magazine and even today I do the same with the old issues.My favorite sections were Life is like that and the Humor sections, which were really classy..
