	I can't believe I didn't even manage to trigger #21 by accident!

	I was shocked at the lack of Highlights. After all, it has been in every dentist office I have ever been in.

	highvolt:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 04:56 GMT		3 points
	working for a major magazine publisher probably didn't hurt my score. nevertheless, there are titles on this list I have never heard of.

	No WWE or Flex. That must be why more score is only 6/100.

	Two AARP titles... we are an OLD country. Or maybe old people just read more magazines?

	Rayavi:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 11:55 GMT		10 points
	85-99 correct: 0%. 100 correct: 0.3%. No, that's not suspicious at all.

	That Playboy is more guessed than Cosmo says a lot about the demographics of this quiz...

	triviahappy:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 12:50 GMT		6 points
	Good quiz, rockgolf. Really interesting to see what people are reading. I'm kind of surprised that Consumer Reports didn't make into the top 100. :)

	A Request to the Sporcle Community: HELP! I need your help to complete a follow-up to this quiz. I'm trying to get list of America's best-selling magazines in the 70s, 60s and 50s. If you want to know the top songs, movies, TV shows or books from a given year, there are dozens of on-line resources available. But if you want to find a list of best-selling magazines, there appear to be very few. I've got lists from 2010 and 2000 from the Audit Bureau of Circulation site. But to get earlier lists, there appears to be only one relatively available source: The World Almanac and Book of Facts. It's been updated annually for decades with this list. I've found one from 1986, but I'd really love to get a list or two from the early 70s, any time in the 60s or 50s. So if any of you happen to have a 1970 World Almanac or 1960 World Almanac or any in the range 1950-1975 sitting around (or have access to one), send me a tweet at @Rock_Golf (rockgolf was taken) and I'll PM you my e-mail so you can send me a copy of the list. I'll gladly give you credit on the quiz, and eternal thanks, but can't really offer much more than that. Thanks in advance.

	@Rayavi: My guess is someone from the Audit Bureau of Circulation was testing their memory. @BrokenBahamut: Rachael Ray is accepted. The other's a slippery slope. If I accept Popular Mechanics as a singular, then someone will demand that I also accept Person for People.

	rockgolf:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 13:32 GMT		2 points
	From what I can find on the website linked at top, Highlights, Tiger Beat, and WWE Magazine are not members of the Audit Bureau of Circulation. However, Improper Bostonian is.

	emh:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 14:05 GMT		2 points
	Getting 11 out of 100 put me at the 50th percentile. Now that's a tough quiz!!!

	donkey07734:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 14:42 GMT		4 points
	Boy's Life should have the asterisk it's a Boy Scout Membership thing.

	Crorey:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 14:42 GMT		4 points
	Economist as a US magazine? Isn't it based in the UK?

	JuliannasGaGa:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 15:25 GMT		3 points
	@TheMike...SkyMall is certainly huge, but wouldn't you say it's a catalog rather than a magazine?

	Cat Fancy didn't make the cut? My grandmother would be outraged!

	First for Women? Misleading title.

	MasterNachosII:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 16:49 GMT		2 points
	Disappointed but not surprised by lack of 'Sporting News.' It's the oldest and, in my opinion, best sports magazine out there, but I can NEVER EVER FIND IT in magazine racks.

	basilutter:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 17:14 GMT		4 points
	Weird that so many obscure and semi-obscure titles, but not "The Atlantic"...

	johnlk:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 18:14 GMT		4 points
	Pretty surprised Esquire's not on there. GQ is 76 - I'd have thought they'd be pretty close to each other.

	I guess having 3 kids in braces & sitting in the orthodontist's waiting room week after week actually paid off.

	No ZOOBOOKS?!?!?!

	modernmillie:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 19:26 GMT		5 points
	Did anyone else only know that "Horse & Hound" was a magazine because of Notting Hill?

	Bobman1:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 21:16 GMT		1 point
	I tried Boys' Life for real, and Nun's Life for a bonus. Zilch on both accounts. Please make Nun's Life (from the movie Airplane!)a bonus. Fun but tough quiz--I worked in mag publishing for four years in the late 80s and still managed only 30 (good for 91st percentile). And when I saw the answers, there were at least a dozen I should have known, and many more I've never heard of.

	Bobman1:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 21:18 GMT		4 points
	oops, I guess Boys Life IS on there. My Nun's Life request still stands, however.

	The definition of Sporclitis: I got Reminisce but missed Newsweek.

	I think it's a little bit funny that Food Network Magazine, Everyday with Rachael Ray, and Cooking Light are back to back. Each with around $44 million in revenue. Is this coincidence, or do the same people buy all three?

	AlexKrycek:	Nov 2nd, 2011 at 22:40 GMT		1 point
	@sk8rfinn, in answer to your question, probably. We had a subscription to FoodNetwork & Cooking Light simultaneouly, but currently only take the latter.
