If I was on a desert island, I'd like this magazine with me.

I've read just about every issue of Good Housekeeping magazine since I was eleven years old.  My mom still subscribes to this magazine and I catch up on the issues each time I visit her.

What I like most about the magazine are the human interest stories they feature each month.  The articles have a sense of genuiness, leaving the reader with the feeling that they've walked along for the journey in each story.

I've cut out so many recipes over the years but one recipe really stands out, a recipe for banana cake that cooks perfectly each time.  I've adapted it and made pumpkin bread out of the same recipe.  The recipes that are featured in Good Housekeeping are down-to-earth recipes--I find this appealing because I don't have to hunt for exotic ingredients.

Each issue contains a short fiction story, advice columns, a beauty section, and often an article focusing on home life-- organizational tips, etc.

The Christmas issue features gingerbread houses and each year, the houses seem to be more and more elaborate and amazing.  And you can't beat the Christmas cookie recipes!

What's there to read in the Nascar magazine? "The cars go 'round and 'round..." LOL

I could get by with a Nascar mag, one such as playboy/playgirl would just make me feel more isolated and alone ;)

I picked up Good Housekeeping the other day to read and then I gave it to my mom. It's pretty good I agree. Jo

I would prefer perhaps a Nascar magazine if I were trapped on a desert island, but hey I'm a Redneck so...lol ;)

That's a good old magazine. My mother always read it.
