My Magazine Pile

For various reasons, the past couple of months have been particularly busy. My pile of incoming magazines has gotten unusually high, as I haven't been able to keep up with the relentless (although welcome) flow to my mailbox. Right now on that pile are the following: 6 issues of The Nation, 4 of Vanity Fair, 2 of San Francisco Magazine, 1 of The Progressive, 1 of New York, 1 of The Atlantic, 1 of Threepenny Review, 1 of The Women's Review of Books, 1 of The New York Times Book Review, and a few miscellaneous magazines from various organizations. On a separate pile are 19 issues of various professional journals. I don't usually let these piles get so tall; I try to keep up. Note that there are no issues of The New Yorker, and only one of New York, despite the fact that these magazines arrive weekly; this is because I tend to read these magazines first because they are so engaging. I know that I will eventually read, or at least skim, all the magazines and journals on my pile, but at this point I don't know when!
