Started out ok, but I became less interested the farther I got. ( )

The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2008 by Dave Eggers (2008)

Another reasonably decent "Best American Front Section" in this one, but none of the selections in the second part did much for me. Judy Blume's short introduction was excellent, though. ( )

Wonderful collection of non-fiction and short stories. About 1/3 is fantastic, 1/3 is ok, and 1/3 I didn't enjoy. Two non-fiction works, one about black jews in Israel, the other on Bill Clinton's fight against AIDS, were my favorites. Although there is a killer short web work about Zombies that I loved. ( )

I must've picked this book up on a clearance rack a few years ago or something - I don't really remember - but I'm glad I finally got around to reading it. It's a collection of stories and essays, compiled by a panel of teenagers with some help by Dave Eggers. Will look for editions from other years before they hit the clearance racks from now on. ( )
