Structured reading

[Basher]

A question;

How do you read your GM?

I tend to flick through reading little bits that jump out at me first, I confess I do read Mikes "From the Editor" feature first.
I will then make a cuppa, sit comfortably and turn to my favourite bits such as the instruction section, letters and regular features.
The rest is saved for bedtime reading where I then read the mag from cover to cover.

Fristly i think you would agree this great mag cannot be read in one sitting to much to digest.

I tend to read the letters frist then move onto the little forum bit to see which thread got featured.
I will then have a look through and read any features instruction that may leap out at me and finally i will read it from cover to cover (At least twice)

Good question Basher.

I think it is a bit like how do you eat a jelly baby ? Head first, feet first or just whack the lot in your kisser?

I read the contents page the cherry pick a couple of topics but I like to save some juicey items for later.

I have t say I always read it in a particular order. Straight to the forum page to see who has got a mention and what subject they picked. Then its onto the equipment side followed by the instructional pages.

Pausing for breath I'm into the course reviews and finally I go through the main feature articles

flick through and see what looks interesting, usually new equipment features, but don't actually read it until before bed. Then read it from cover to cover over a period of about 2-3 weeks.

1) Forum members pert
2) Mikes message
3) Equipment reviews
4) Blogs

Stays on bedside table until next issue then moves into the toilet as light reading material (sorry).

I was going to say that myself but decided it may be bad forum etiquette. Glad someone had the balls to say it.

Thanks!

I can support that optoin as well. Good read for a couple of nights after purchase then onto the pile in my fortress of solitude.

Bad habit of reading from the back so normally begin with Bill Elliott's column, then flick back to gear, read the columns in the view then have a read thru the mag in more detail.

Front cover to back. As slowly as possible. 28 sleeps is along time!

 

[TonyN]

straight to the instruction guide to see whats in it, then the forum bit, then front to back!

take it slow and savour, start with whatever catches my eye in the first skim then dip in at random
