I have been a subscriber for many years. I usually begin at beginning articles and read completely thru last article. My mother gave me my first subscription when I graduated from high school (1959). I continued to renew thru the years except for a short period of time in which I simply could not afford the extra expense of a subscription (honestly).I particularly have enjoyed the "It pays to Increase Your Word Power" section each month. (I liked the old format much better). I too, like Patti B., find it irritating to be reading one of the many excellent articles to be interrupted by several pages of advertisements. This used to not be a problem. These numerous interruptions cause a loss of continuity in the readings. It would be much easier to read if the ads could be placed between articles instead of in the middle of individual articles.
I recently renewed my subscription and sent gift subscriptions to my two oldest granddaughters who are now in college. My previous ratings would have definitely been 5 stars, but the afore metioned interruptions had a direct influence on my present rating of 4 stars.

My favorite time of month....

Reader's Digest is such a reliable magazine that always delivers what I have come to expect from the publication over the years. It is my favorite day of the month when I see Reader's Digest in my mail box! I usually start with the jokes, and work my way through to the touching stories. However I had to downgrade my rating from five stars to four stars, because of the over-stuffing of advertisements throughout the magazine. It is pretty annoying to have to weed through all of the ads, but the content of Reader's Digest makes it worth taking the extra time.

A wonderful magazine throughout the generations

Reader's Digest has a quality that, in my opinion, no other magazine can compare to- that is it's dependability. I can always depend on Reader's Digest to deliver great stories. I grew up watching my grandmother read this magazine, and it's no coincidence that I myself am now a loyal reader. It's not a habit that gets passed down through the generations. It continues because it truly is a fantastic read. The writers behind this magazine never cease to come up with wonderful topics and story ideas- no matter the genre. Reader's Digest has something for everyone. I often read snippets to my husband, and other stories to my children. The articles all share a universal theme of love and understanding, even if it is not clear right off the bat. The magazine encourages us all to look at the bright side of life, and take joy in the small things-- something that truly makes all the difference in the world and is too often overlooked. I will likely be a subscriber until I am a grandmother myself, and my granddaughter can tell the same story of how she discovered the magazine.

I have read your magazine for many years. I like the articles and use it in my classroom. I am disappointed to see a lady in her underwear on the back cover. This is not appropriate in the classroom. Please keep your advertisements suitable for all audiences.

As a child growing up in Winchester Ky., my old Auntie who passed away several years ago subscribed to Reader's Digest. The highlight of my visits with her was reading the stories from her Reader's Digest and playing the vocabulary game. She would always give me about 20 minutes to review the words and then test me on them over and over until I got them all right. I still enjoy Reader's Digest and read them frequently.

I grew up near McGuire Hospital,and even as a child I saw how much your magazine meant to the men there. Please continue to print the jokes, and everything else they want to read. It might seem like a small thing to some, but it meant a lot to my dad and many others,even today !!! Thank You

I love this great little magazine! As soon as it arrives the first thing I do is read through all the jokes, I especially like the military humor since my husband is in the Army. Then I go to the back page to read the short story. I jump around all over the book, but eventually read every page, some more than once! There is always at least one story that tugs at my heart, and usually several that cheer me up and make me feel like the world is a wonderful place to live.

Reader's Digest is a family friendly magazine that has been providing educational and entertaining reading for over 80 years.
It has something for everyone. There's always an assortment of humor, games, household hints, and current events.
You'll find stories that will leave you laughing and some that will leave you with tears in your eyes. I always read my Reader's Digest from cover to cover the day it arrives.
