Doing Time: 25 Years of Prison Writing from the Pen Program

Another book chosen for Book Riot's challenge (book written in prison); this one demonstrates how such challenges widens one's reading horizons. I would have never picked up this book, and am really impressed by the high-quality writing, especially for an anthology.
