I don't read long features more than once very often. Anyway, here are a few of the best essays and features I can think of off the top of my head at this moment, with the acknowledgement that many were written for print publications:
David Foster Wallace, "Consider the Lobster"
John Jeremiah Sullivan, "The Final Comeback of Axl Rose"
C.J. Chivers, "The School"
