The New Kings of Nonfiction by Ira Glass

3.0

between being a magazine major, a new yorker subscriber and a faithful follower of "The Best American Non-required Reading" series, I think there were only a couple of stories in here that I hadn't previously read. BUT Ira Glass is wonderful and all the proceeds from the book benefit 826 CHI, a really cool non profit afterschool writing center in Chicago, and I'm willing to bet most of y'all haven't read most of these stories, so, go, GO! and buy it! and read it! and feel smarter after reading about Lois Weisberg, and a little scared after reading about British thugs (don't call them hooligans!) and want to know a 10-year-old after reading about Colin.
