A review by amyg42
The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2006 by Dave Eggers

4.0

This strong collection of writing, mainly chosen by teenagers, is a accurate reflection of the best writing of the year. It draws from a wide variety of sources, many of them not American, so don't let the title mislead you.

The intro by Matt Groening (of Simpsons fame) is my favourite bit of the book. He writes his confession about what it's like to have a life-long love affair with books.
