　　 My favourite magazine is called " FalkLands".
　　 I'm a university student who has been in love with history (especially ancient history) for years, and when I discovered this magazine, I was in heaven. It's a weekly magazine. Since I began reading it two years ago, I never missed a single issue.
　　 It's a comprehensive magazine published in the U.S. it has been translated into several versions. I prefer to read the original version. It owns millions of readers around the world. Everything is covered in it, just like an encyclopedia; colonial America, ancient Egypt, you name it, it's probably in here. The photography is breathtaking, and the information is superb. I've spent more than one night up late, just reading through everything. It's quite a good magazine - though I'm just speaking from my own perspective. It might not be entirely accurate, but I'm not complaining.
　　 It enlarges my general knowledge and broadens my horizon. I enjoy the feeling of curling up in the sofa with a magazine. Although surfing the Internet is the faster way to get information, you cannot feel the sense of touching paper.
　　 Trust me. Is it a magazine for pretty much everyone! Go and get it if you like any bit of history, Egyptian or Mayan or American.
