My subscription to CSM started a few days ago, and I really enjoy the paper. It's very concise (20 pages), well written, and also broad in its coverage. I especially enjoy the book/media reviews, and the lack of excessive advertising is very refreshing.

I'm also a subscriber of the Wall Street Journal, and am actually considering un-subscribing due to it being such a commitment to read in its entirety.

Lastly, the delivery time of CSM is amazing. I receive issues on the day they go to print, which amazes me, considering they are sent via US Postal Service. I thought there would be a two, even three, day delay between the date of the paper and the day I receive it, but I receive Monday's paper on Monday, Tuesday's on Tuesday, etc. Very impressive; almost feels like it's too good to be true.

Overall, I'd say this is the best daily newspaper I've encountered. It's just 20 pages, but is packed with content; which are both big plusses to me. Furthermore, the topics and articles are genuinely interesting to me, and I look forward to each issue. With the WSJ it felt I was plodding along for two hours, but not necessarily interested in half of the things I was reading about. I'm certainly glad I took advantage of this subscription offer, and will almost certainly be sticking with this paper over others I've subscribed to in the past.
