I have always enjoyed reading Reader's Digest - they have a lot of interesting articles, a condensed story, plus numerous areas of jokes, wordpower, etc where people can actually submit and earn some money from. Reader's Digest is actually a pretty good payer if you are lucky enough to get something you have written, into their pages. My problem with them is .... once they have your name - they will not let you go! They will bombard you with junk mail for every book they ever publish, for their sweepstakes, and their condensed books series. It gets to being so annoying, and for the amount they spend on this ton of junk mail they could maybe cut the price of the mag a bit.
There is a wealth of info in each one, heart-rending tales of animal and human heroes and heroines, overcoming all sorts of obstacles. Reader's Digest really is a good magazine. They spoil it though by their over zealous mailing campaigns.

I, like Suzan, also enjoy their condensed books but have collected most of mine from jumble sales and car boot sales over the years. They are excellent, and the selections are usually quite different from each other in content. I don't think 'd subscribe to them though, but that's jsut me.
I won't subscribe to the magazine anymore either, I'll buy it off the shelf at the local supermarket and keep my mailbox free of the junk mail.

Summary: A good read but they won't let you go
