Readers Digest Review

Reader's Digest is the only magazine that I can think of that the whole family from about age 7 up can enjoy. It has interesting articles on various topics every month, plus lots of clean humor.  When I was in elementary school through high school many years ago, I used it as resource for papers I had to write.  My family enjoyed the true funny stories that readers wrote in. (You can earn good money if your submissions are accepted.) We also loved the inspirational stories that shows how good humans and animals can be.

When I got married and raised my own family, we subscribed off and on for many years. My kids would all pick it up off the end table and read it.  They mostly loved it for the humor, and would love to be the first one to share a particularly funny submission. (If someone was going to be a long time in the bathroom, that was the usual reading material taken in)

My kids are all out on their own now. I gave my eldest son a gift subscription one year and he told me he not only loves to still read it, but every month he is reminded of the giver-me- and all the wonderful memories. I still have a subscription right now. I enjoy the health-related stories, still love to do the vocabulary quiz each month, and still love the good laugh and good feelings it brings me each and every month.
