Magazine Guilt--Can you help me let go?

[IMGONNABE40!]

Anyone else suffer from this? Right now I have a stack of 20 Gourmet magazines (ordered for me as a gift) that are unread--many still in the wrapper. I think I should just recognize that I will not get around to reading them and throw them away. Then a part of me says I can't just throw them away, I have not even looked at them! Everytime I go by the stack I feel a bit guilty. To tell the truth, I do not need the pressure they are causing! What would you do?

Keep one, maybe two, give the rest away, school, library, med office, shelter. Don't renew subscription, regardless how inexpensive.

I too suffer with this. I usually donate mine to a library or friends.
That way at least some one is reading them.

I have stacks of unread magazines too. I usually will just donate or give them to someone. I keep telling myself to stop signing up for these, but the deals are so great and I keep thinking I will read them sometime.
