No, I’d have to agree that Cosmo is pretty lowbrow. I read Seventeen when I was 13 (my older sister had a subscription) and Cosmo when I was about 17 to 18. After that I somehow matured and turned to Scientific American, Scientific American Mind and Mental Floss (for an intellectual read packaged as a ‘fun’ read) :-D. Yup, I’m pretty much a nerd.

I used to work at Special Collections in my university library, and they had old copies of Cosmo (among several other magazines). What fantastic reads. Such a shame that it turned into what it is now.
