O, The Oprah Magazine — 

When this magazine arrives each month, whatever else I'm reading (which usually consists of several books and other magazines) gets put aside until I've read O from cover to cover.  I like that each issue has a theme.  Certainly, some months, and some articles, are more pertinent to my life than others, but I can always find something -- usually many things -- in each issue to keep my attention.  Many pages end up dog-eared for future reference or action before I pass it along to my sister.

Many people who have never read this magazine assume it is "just another" women's magazine, along the lines of Cosmo or Vogue or, more domestically, Ladies Home Journal.  When they actually get into it and see the quality of many of the articles, they are usually pleasantly surprised.  Yes, there are sections on makeup and clothing, but that doesn't detract from the "serious" stuff -- we need both for a balanced life.
