"The Best American Front Section" was a highlight again: funny and varied stuff. Beyond those, the Edge Foundation's "What Is Your Dangerous Idea?" is great, and Conan O'Brien's high school commencement speech was also quite amusing. ( )
I'm not going to lie. The only reason I bought this book was because the intro was by Sufjan Steven ... you know, of "Come On, Feel the Illinois" fame. Anyway, it was a great read, and I was pleasantly surprised to find the story/graphic novel by Alison Bechtel, a Lock Haven native, and another story by Conan O'Brien. A lot of the authors were new to me, but I'd definitely read more of their works. ( )

This is a series, apparently, but I've only ever read this one edition. Inside are excerpts, snippets and essays of all kinds, long and short. I remember loving the section on Best Six-Word Memoirs, which is more ingenious and less gimmicky than you'd think, and I'll never forget this is where I first heard about Alison Bechdel's brilliant masterpiece, Fun Home.
I recommend it. Heck, I'll even recommend the rest of the series, sight unseen. ( )
