Read #22

Read #22 ($4, READ, PO Box 3437, Astoria, NY 11103) While I have been a huge fan of the other READ issues I’ve received, I would have to say that #22, subtitled “The Work Issue”, is probably about my favourite of the entire run. Incorporating pretty much any work-related material from prior issues of READ and the archives at www.readmag.com, “The Work Issue” reads like a sitcom, with typically funny,…

The first half of the magazine is really what does it for me, as the second half is just the typical reviews of movies, books, and the like. Two themes recurrent in the magazine are crushes and Rush, and both…
