My dad used to subscribe to the Readers Digest and the Readers Digest Condensed Books series. I mostly saw him leafing thru National Geographics though; he had lots of them. |

I don't know. I had very little contact with him until I was 9 years old because he didn't get along with my step-grandfather (his stepfather). Even then, he didn't live in the same area as I did until I was an adult. I honestly couldn't tell you what he read because he seldom, if ever was reading when I visited him at his apartment. |

My father doesn't read much. When he does read, he likes Reader's Digest, Garfield and Footrot Flats, and some historical/war comics. He reads comedy like Frank Muir and Dennis Norden. Only British comedy tho 'cos U.S. comedy can be a bit smutty, among other things. (And I have to admit, I agree with him. Sorry  ) |

My Dad didn't read magazines... No fiction at all either. Such a soulful man he was... |

I take that back... Come to think of it; he did subscribe to National Geographic the year I was born so I grew up with that magazine all my life but it was so interesting that I really didn't consider it as a regular rag publication... |

He liked reading his Army/Navy news letters he received every month, the Bible or anything about the life of Christ, and he liked reading about American history. After he passed away I kept all his Civil War history books. I wouldn't give them up for any amount of money! |

He doesint read anything. Not to say he cant or he is not smart, books just hold little interest to him. |

He reads the magazines Opera News, The New Yorker, and Consumer Reports.
As for books, he reads lots of them, mostly good literature although he used to read a lot of trashy science fiction. The series he has probably read the most exhaustively is the Patrick O'Brian books and the Hornblower series. |

Magzines: Time, Kiplinger's, ... um... (some auto-industry insider thing)
He reads the paper, follows sports too...
I don't think he reads books. |

He doesn't read any magazines or books. He'll skim through Toronto Star every morning. |

Books, all kinds of stuff. His bookshelf suggests a minor obsession with Winston Churchill. |

When I was growing up I always remember dad having a stack of books next to his chair. Mom would get them from the library. Spy novels, war novels, westerns. Historical books if they were about some war or another. I don't remember dad reading any magazine except for Readers Digest and from time to time, Macleans. The newspaper everyday of course. |

My dad reads 'Reader's Digest', the 'dumb criminal' books I give him, and a lot of Louis L'Amour. |

Motorcycle, tattoo, and gun magazines. Bi-monthly Masonic news magazine. Stephen King books. |

In order he likes to read about Airplanes, Flying (he is a pilot), Sail boating, Newspapers, Airplanes Mechanics (he is an A&P with IA), (non-bio chem.) chemistry, Inventions and Guns. When we were young he used to subscribe to National Geographics, the Readers Digest and the Readers Digest Condensed Books series but hasn't since my mother died. |

He really only reads the local paper... daily.
He does have a lot of nature guides - books on different types of animals, trees and plants... that he uses for reference. |
