I obviously like the Best American series since I have ten volumes from six different series on my bookshelf here. I have more of them on my real wooden bookcases, that I glance through from time to time. I know that trying to keep up with these series is an impossible task, but I keep acquiring them.
I suspect family and friends would prefer that I didn't read this kind of book. My inclination when I learn new facts that are fascinating to me, is to share them with anyone within earshot. So while I was reading these 25 essays, I told people about fermentation, weather forecasters who don't believe in climate change, underground coal fires and even how long a home run could possibly be. I know that no one would believe that there were facts I learned that I didn't tell them. But I figured I had bored them enough.
If you enjoy learning about new worlds, new ideas, or encountering creative writers and thinkers, there is a Best American series for you.
