Commute

Best part about my commute: all the free newspapers and magazines. For my morning commute I snag me a copy of the Metro. On my return trip I grab a copy of the London Evening Standard. For someone that read the LA Times daily back home, the Metro and the LES are a welcome replacement. Occasionally content overlaps between the two papers but other than they are fun a read and they keep me up to date on happenings here in London and worldwide.

Thursdays are a bonus day because the weekly free magazine,The Shortlist, comes out. The Shortlist is a magazine for all things male - movies, technology, sports etc. Don't worry women you're not left out, the female equivalent, The Stylist, comes out every Wednesday.

Part of their appeal is the British sense of humor that's reflected in their writing. The sarcastic commentary, dry wit and funny photo captions contrast sharply with the formal American journalism I'm used to.
