do you read the magazine from front to back? or do you read from the middle?

I often find myself browsing though the table of contents first, just to see if there is a particularly interesting article in the magazine. However, I still don't read the articles in order - not even based on the interesting articles from the table of contents. Instead, I read magazines from the bank. I guess it's because I know most of the good stuff were put in the first few front pages so I thought I better finish the worse ones (save the best for last - mentality).
However, I found out that most of the informative articles are actually on the back. I guess it's because editors realize that only the heavy readers reach that part of the magazine :P
Do you read the magazine from front to back? Or do you read from the middle? Or are you like me, who reads magazines from back to front?

I do it front to back, but I don't actually read it at first. Usually I would flip through it from front to back, and then when I am done, I would begin again to actually look for things I want to read. But then, I would keep rereading a magazine over and over, sometimes just opening it in the middle and looking for an article I am interested in.

hi this is very interesting, well, i look at the pictures first, and if anything interests me, i read it. so pictures in the magazines play an important role. lol.

When I have the time , I would turn page to page. But, if I don't have the time , I would first look at the Table of Content , like you do , and go straight to the page that interests me. In fact, that's what I have been doing, with my very busy schedules just about every day.

I usually read front to back as when I am reading a magazine I like to relax and browse through it. I don't read everything as soon as I see it. If I see an article that looks really interesting for example then I might read it later i.e. save the best for last as you said!

I also read the magazine from back to front. I guess because I want to feel the excitement of reading the magazine. In that way, I will be forced to read the whole magazine because I haven't read the front page yet. Ah! What kind of idea I have? But really it works.
