Boy, talk about synchronicity! Just as I add magazines to my online reading discussion one of my home town papers - the Chicago Tribune - had a big article yesterday listing their 50 best magazines for the year.
I was happy to see present favorites on the list, but maybe more interesting to me, was to see past old friends that I have not purchased in a great while on the list! (I can't remember the last time I seriously looked at a Self magazine - I who used to be a subscriber!)
Of course, part and parcel to best of lists, I was in turns baffled, amused and intrigued by the choices, and somewhat appalled by those mags overlooked (if one of their stated intents was for the list to be a conversation starter why isn't BUST on it -- an eclectic, hard to pigeonhole little mag if ever there was one!).
Anyway, take a look at what they think is the best of mags at the following link:

Be forewarned that you will probably have to register to see the article. Registration however is free and not very long.
