The Economist
Although I don't get to read it as often as I'd like, it's a great magazine. My grandpa gives me all his old copies, and even if the issue is a few years old, it still seems to have relevant and interesting information. Basically, it's world events and analysis packed into a few pages every week and even just scanning through the table of contents will help you stay up-to-date on your world. I think The Economist has something from everyone, from the businessman to the investor to the human rights activist to the homemaker to the student, there's something there to interest you.

Outdoor Magazine
My siblings are subscribed to it because of their competitive cycling, so when there's an article that interests me, I read it. I think the title pretty much covers what you should expect to find inside :).

Cycling
See above. Also nice profiles of pro teams and cyclists and good coverage of major cycling events.
