This is the best collection I have ever read! Dave Eggers is the perfect person to edit this collection of random but entertaining and touching writing. Everything from Conan O'Brian's Stuyvesant High School graduation speech to comic strips to short stories by inventive authors can be found in here. A must-buy for anyone really into literature, or anyone just looking for a good time.
