Mental Floss —
Mental Floss has been coming to my home for over 2 years, first as a gift (makes a great one!) and then a renewal. If you are a person who enjoys knowing a little or a lot about a lot of different things, this magazine will appeal to you. Along with all the knowledge is a entertaining writing style and fun layout. What I most enjoy seeing is the whole sections devoted to one topic, such as foreign countries. I know my knowledge about most places outside the U.S. is lacking, and it's wonderful to have a quick tour of other places. I also really enjoy the six degrees of Ken Jennings where someone sends in two seemingly unrelated topics and the Jeopardy champion connects them. If only this were a monthly magazine, there would be much happiness in this house. A fun trivia fact is that Albert Einstein is on the cover somewhere of each issue, like Where's Waldo for grown-ups.
Mental Floss is recommended by CHill
