When you read magazines, do you read the entire thing or just choose an article?

I sometimes end up buying magazines but reading only 10% of it. I'd flip through the pages first, see if anything interests me, and sometimes it turns out, I only go through the advertisements, haha! If I don't see anything interesting while flipping through it, then I refer to the table of contents and check which articles would interest me. And sometimes, what's irritating is that when I find an article to read, it turns out to be a short one and the ones I don't feel like reading, they're the ones occupying a whole page or two.

Usually I just flip through the magazine and read whatever interests me. Sometimes it is alot and sometimes there is barely anything in it that I want to read. I have subscriptions, so I usually don't mind if there isn't too much in them.

I read almost 100% page of the magazine if it is very useful to me like when I want to know more about technology then I buy the T3 magazine and read all the useful topics. But if the title of the article that was written on the cover page catches my attention then I will only read that article but sometimes I look for more if there is anything trivial.

It depends on the magazine. There are a few that I can and will read cover to cover (Marie Claire is one of them.) And then there are others that I just flip through. Sometimes, I won't read a magazine all in one sitting, but if it's sitting on my coffee table long enough, I'll eventually have read pretty much all of it just by flipping through a few times.
