The Best American Nonrequired Reading
I find this book really entertaining. I have never read a book like that before, cocky, wild yet creative. I like how the stories are written from different authors, actually the short stories are chosen from some actual books. My favorite short story is about a group of terrorists who declared their own territory on an island. It is a political allegory about the relationship between the US and Middle eastern nations. I think the editors must put a lot of works into putting all the pieces together and somehow he made the poems, short stories and cartoons all go together. This book is truly a book of everything. I would recommend anyone who likes creative writing. This is a great source of inspiration.
