So over the last while I've been reading some Reader's Digests. I've had a subscription for about a year and a half now, which has been piling up. I managed to get through four of them (December 2012, February 2013, March 2013 and April 2013) and am now half way through the June 2012 issue. Unfortunately, I still have quite a few to read through and I am losing interest in them. So I'll probably be taking a break after I finish the June 2012 one to go read something else.
I find that a lot of the articles seem to go on a bit too long; a lot of times I might be interested in something but not to the depth the articles go into. That being said, I've read about some pretty interesting things. For example, I hadn't even heard of the Northern Gateway project ("The $273 Billion Question" from February 2013), which sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Or that Canada was working on robots to care for people ("Love Machine" from March 2013). I didn't think the December 2012 issue was anything special, but it did have a really moving story reprinted from 1985 (I found it here as well) and a story that made me chuckle. All in all there have ben some good stories and I'm looking forward to reading more. Just not right away.
