A book to read.

Oh, booksbooksbooksbooksbooks. Here are a few that I have enjoyed immensely, and here’s to hoping you give them a try.

The Best American Non-Required Reading-edited by David Eggers

I would recommend this book to anyone, but especially to high-school students. It’s a collection of phenomenal obscure online essays, comic strips, facts, exerts from books, etc. My favorite entry in the book is “Best Woman Comedy Piece Written by a Woman” by Wendy Molyneux. Until you read that, we can’t be friends.

When You are Engulfed in Flames by David Sedaris

Or really anything by David Sedaris. They’re all pretty much the same but they are all HILARIOUS.

Jesus’ Son by Denis Johnson

It’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for the existentialist. Read it, it’s bleak and hilarious.

The Trial –Franz Kafka

Old standby. Don’t be disappointed if the plot doesn’t move where you want it to…or move at all. It’s still a great read.

Eating the Dinosaur-Chuck Klosterman

A book where Klosterman interviews many interviews about interviewing. Much more enjoyable than you’d think. He has a fantastic interview with Ira Glass in the beginning of the book.
