I'm not sure I am posting this in the right area, so feel free to tell me where else to post it, or perhaps a mod can move it.
Lately, I have felt slightly overwhelmed by the number of publications I have been reading, when I really would like to spend more of my reading time on books. So, I would like to ask some of the readers out there what your opinion is on several publications, with comparisons between them. I DO NOT subscribe to all of these (just a few), but may change some of the ones I do subscribe to, and eliminate others. I like to stay up on Science and Skeptical issues, as well as other things, and I would like opinions on which are the best overall publications. If you really think one is not worth reading, I'd like to know your thoughts.
Science oriented:
Scientific American
New Scientist
Science News
American Scientist
Skeptical mags:
Skeptical Inquirer
Skeptic
World, culture, science, miscellaneous:
National Geographic
Smithsonian
I may edit this opening post in the future, but these are the ones of major concern. Feel free to bring up others.

I see what you mean about interests. I have so many interests, though. As far as my specialty, I'm a pharmacist, and I read enough of that (and I honestly cannot stand being a pharmacist).
I'm wondering things like:
Is Scientific American better than New Scientist or Science News? I like the fact that SciAm has articles written by scientists, but Science News doesn't, though it covers a wide range of issues. I honestly have no idea about New Scientist. I actually am interested in learning about many areas of science and keeping up with knowledge in various areas.
Is Skeptical Inquirer better than Skeptic, or vice versa? Does anyone here read anything like that?
