Loved the April edition, especially the funny stories of supervisors, bosses, etc. Read this on my way to work and couldn't stop laughing.

After a year I decided to read your Classic Reading Special. It says on the front cover "laugh, cry and marvel" and I've certainly done that. Wouldn't it be good to have another one?

Thank you Reader's Digest, you make my night-shift go by so much faster. Can't wait for the next nightshift to read your magazine.

I look forward to reading Reader's Digest each month. A favourite is Word Power. It is interesting, at times mind-boggling, but so helpful. It certainly keeps the grey matter busy.

I just wanted to say a BIG thanks for the February issue. It's one of the best Digest issues I've read in years. Every item, every article, every nuance of the issue was fine-tuned as only the Digest can do it.
