How much of the Sunday paper do you read?
For me:

Comics
Front section (includes editorials)
TV section
Some of the store flyers.

1. Most of it except for the classifieds.
I don't bother with the store flyers. Too much temptation to want things that I don't need.

2. I don't subscribe to my local paper. I read it online. I do buy the Sunday NYT and read every word.

14. I get only the Sunday, and I buy it on the newsstand. I should just get it delivered, but if I did,
it wouldn't get to my house until Monday, and I do like to have it on Sunday. So I drive into town and get it. I haven't read the WP in years.

4. On the very rare occasion...
.
...that I read it now -- front section, comics, grocery
flyers (if any) and Food section (and probably pretty
much in that order).
.
Kind of like having to register for the draft, is there a
chronological age at which I'll be mandated to turn first
to the obituaries?
.

5. Sundays with the paper are a tradition with me.
I read less of it than I used to (life got busier over the years) but I still go through:
Comics
Sports
Metro
National
OpEd
Quick look at the Arts/Entertainment
Then do one of the crosswords over breakfast.

I used to subscribe to two papers daily but I've finally cut back to one, Wed-Fri-Sun.

16. I started reading the paper when I delivered them at 13 years of age
Until about a couple of years after I got online. I was finding out that it was ALL old news.In some cases, two days after the news first breaks. I get all my news and latest breaking news in seconds with the internet.

They only people I know that still read the papers are the ones who aren't online.Like my Grandparents.....

8. Most of it, except the classifieds and the sports.
Of course our paper is a conservative rag, so I only read a couple of the editorials!
