Your reference to the
old series I Am Joe’s
Body in your letter
explaining how the
new design came about
prompted me to share
this. In the ’70s, I was
a heavy smoker. I knew
it wasn’t healthy but
could not change my
habits. Then I read
“I Am Joe’s Lung.” The
next morning, I walked
out my front door and
coughed up blood.
Talk about a wake-up
call. On New Year’s
Eve, I had less than
half a pack of cigarettes
left, so I decided toBack to the Future
I give your new format two thumbs up.
I would give it more if I had more thumbs.
From Grumpy Cat on the cover to the last

one of the best issues ever.

grandson, and he also
enjoys them, especially
the jokes. Make all the
changes you want
because it seems each
change makes the
Digest better.

Pine Island, New YorkPersonally, I do not
like the new format.
It isn’t as easy to see
where one section
ends and a new sec-
tion begins. Why fix
something that wasn’t
broken?

Bruce Township,
MichiganThank you for your
vision to grow Reader’s
Digest with the times.
I get so much good
information that is
helpful to me. I spent
27 years in the military,
and I especially enjoy
Humor in Uniform.
I doubt that RD is
offered in heaven, so
I need to stay healthy
in order to enjoy it
longer!

All these years later, I
