Grassroots comes with a NASA membership, Sports Car comes with an SCCA membership, the Engineering mags come with an SAE membership and are paid for by my company, and we used Continental miles for the Time, R&T, and US News subscriptions (along with a couple of home decor mags for my wife). So really I only pay for two magazine subsciptions. :wink:
I read a lot in Iraq and carried a paperback with me almost the entire time. It was handy during any down time or playing the waiting game.
However, while in school I'm mainly limited to Textbooks.
My indulgence reading is mainly the new Star Wars novels, but the newest ones are starting to get a little formulatic. They'll keep my Star Wars hunger sated until the new series' come out.
Fiction: I have enjoyed Tom Clancy, John Grisham, Anne Rice, Chuck Palahniuk and both the Browns.
As for Sci-Fi/Alternative History, I'm currently enjoying SM Striling's Emberverse series http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S._M._S...erverse_series
I also enjoyed his Terminator Series, they're significantly better than the T3 Movie. Harry Turtledove is usually a pretty good read as well.
Non-fiction: I really enjoyed Freakonomics, the World is Flat and Blink. On my to read list is the Lucifer Effect and Black Swan.
Magazines:
Bike (UK)
Top Gear (only while in Barnes and Noble)
Esquire
Sport Compact Car (expired subscription)
Grassroots Motorsports
Texas Rider
Runner's World

I am surprised to see no one mentioning Hemming's Sports & Exotic Cars magazine. Contrary to the name, they tend to focus on older obtainable cars. Pick one up if you get a chance.
