Reader's Digest



Time Inc. is offering a freebie to the first 25,000 people who sign up for its new experiment: Mine, a magazine with articles that will be culled from a handful of publications - TIME magazine, InStyle, Real Simple, Travel and Leisure, Food and Wine, Money, Golf and Sports Illustrated. They're calling it "my magazine, my way": You get to choose the five magazines you're most interested in and they'll come up with a package customized just for you (and anyone else who signs up for the same five magazines, I'd guess).

Go to this site to sign up. But be prepared for some random questions; I was asked, for instance, if I prefer sushi or pizza, or if I'd rather spend time with Leonardo da Vinci or Socrates. Anyway, sign up fast if you want to receive the print edition (five issues over 10 weeks) - they're taking the first 31,000 responses, according to USA Today. You can also get an online version, which will be available to the first 200,000 who sign up.
