noteworthy journalism and literary achievements of the year.

The Best American Magazine Writing 2012 is exactly what it seems. A collection of the best features, profiles, and reporting by award winning journalists for magazines such as The New Yorker, Vanity Fair, ESPN, GQ, Time, and Esquire. This collection is filled with articles that I have missed over the last year, my nose being buried in Self and People magazine. Hey, at least I read. I found this collection to be extremely helpful, getting me all caught up on the politics and international affairs that our country has faced. Makes me smarter and all that ;)
