Not That You Asked: Rants, Exploits, and Obsessions by Steve Almond
3.0
Steve Almond's fiction is some of the most beautiful, most amazing, most heartbreaking stuff I've read in quite some time; his collaboration with Julianna Baggett -- Which Brings Me to You -- was one of my favorite novels of 2006.
However, this book isn't fiction, but a collection of "essays" from over the years: ranging from his love of Kurt Vonnegutt to his love/hate relationship with the Boston Red Sox to his battle with the Conservative Right after he quit his job at Boston College once he discovered that BC had opted Condoleezza Rice for their graduation commencement speech, and everything in between.
