NEO- The UK's best (and possibly only) outlet for fans of manga, anime and Asian cinema. It's generally well written with a nice blend of humour and well thought out points, and it does a good job in it's reviews and letting you know what's the best to watch in the birth place of Manga, Japan. It's also the little articles I enjoy, Neo Nuggets (a small article in which weird Asian news stories are given more light), John Clements article (a truthfull article which takes a look at the world's criticism of manga etc.) and J-life (naturrally a monthly look at Japan's traditions.
I also read the UK's Airsoft magazine, however only because my friend's dad who is very enthuastic about the sport lends it to me on a monthly basis.

I read the usual
EGM: love the three man(or woman) reviews since they hate every game unless its actually good. Plus the Seanbaby sections are hilarious
Anime Insider: For the Anime and Manga lover in me and I cant really get my hands on Newtype USA
Game Informer: came with my Gamestop card so why not. Good magazine overall.
Nintendo Power: its Nintendo dammit!
The Escapist: I think you people should come up on why.

Reader's Digest since of my teachers writes for it, Popular Mechanics and sometimes Men's Health. I stopped reading gaming magazines a few months ago and I get all the information from the Internet.
I pretty much stick to Wired now days. Can't really force myself through much else, although I do have a Game Informer subscription from where I work.
PC Zone - My one and only PC Mag
The Escapist - Just something to peruse in the morning
BBC - Just for news stuffs
DnD Insider - For Roleplay stuffs
Gamespy, Gamespot, 1Up, MMORPG - For my video game general needs

So Joe's the male who reads Vanity Fair! Dude, your slip is showing! LOL
I read The Escapist, NewsMax, Discover, National Geographic, American Currents (NANFA's native fishhead quarterly), PC Gamer, PC Magazine, BassMaster, American Hunter (one of the NRA's magazines), and about a dozen trade (engineering and a few architectural) mags regularly, and purchase several aquarium, hunting, fishing, scuba/snorking, archeoligical, and pop science mags a few times a year. And my wife's Birds and Blooms or something like that. But I'll deny that.

I read few print magazines. Most of my 'zines are online. Print are: The New Yorker, Scientific American, occasionally the New York Review of Books, and The New York Times Sunday Magazine.
Online is a lot of blogs etc, but the major ones I read are: The Escapist, of course, ExtremeTech, Firing Squad, PC World, PC Magazine, Hardware Zone, Hexus, IGN, Gamespot, and PC Perspective. News, Opinion, Arts, Sciences, Tech, Gaming. That's what I like.
Edit: Forgot Anandtech (duh!) and Alternet, though I consider Alternet to be utter crap much of the time.

PC Gamer UK - The best of the PC gaming mags.
PC Zone - The oldest games mag in the UK - (I bought UFO:EU/XCom because of the PCZ review. Happiness everlasting. )
Custom PC - For the time when my fiancee allows me to buy a new PC, and I'll build it myself.
PC Format - My least favourite. It is a halfway-house between a hardware mag and a games mag. It does good reviews of hardware, but lacks the nerd-kudos of Custom PC. The gaming side, not so much. Plus they stick pics of women in bikinis on the cover, which makes me too ashamed to read it in public. I'm too old for that sort of thing!
Total Gaming Magazine has just come out, which is similar to PCF, but doesn't seem to have a particular voice yet. I'll give it a couple of issues. Brave of the publisher to release a PC games mag in the current climate, so they deserve some support.
SFX - Best sci-fi mag on the market.
Traithlon 220 - I love doing the sport, so I like to read about it.
Runners World - I run, so I get a magazine on it.
I read the odd science mag too, Wired, Sky At Night, Focus, Scientific American, etc, but these are the ones I get regularly.
As you can see, I like to read! I get a load of mags. It helps to make the commute go faster.

Oh, you know, the usuals. The Escapist (and I have to say, I like reading articles ahead of everyone else), The Economist (smart, classy, addicted since college), Intelligent Life (recent discovery, smart writing, interesting topics), Wired (I get my nerd fix online of course).
The blogs I read and have at the ready are far, far too numerous. I am almost always reading something.

I am almost always reading something.The Escapist, Mensa Bulletin, The International Brotherhood of Teamster's creatively titled TEAMSTER, and TIME.
I don't read much of magazines. Charlie Brooker got me thinking too much. But I think I would enjoy reading the book "The Extraordinary Adventures of Arsene Lupin".
