A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius : A Memoir Based on a True Story

2 people recommended this item

Description

The first time I was introduced to Dave Eggers it was through his short stories. I tracked down this book and read it and really (as cheesy as it sounds) agree = this is a work of genius. How did Eggers manage to pinpoint the stream of conscious to such an accurate and in tune degree? That has to be my favorite aspect although I love every word written in this novel

The Complete Anne of Green Gables Boxed Set

First to recommend

Description

I first read Anne of Green Gables in 4th or 5th grade and love it. I ended up reading the whole 8 book set as a result and loved each and every book. If you don't believe me, take a look at my ratty falling apart copies. The main character, Ann with an e, is so imaginative that she really reminds you about other focuses in life. Additionally, she's just lovable to every fault.

How We Are Hungry: Dave Eggers

First to recommend

Description

This collection of short stories were my first introduction to Dave Eggers, and I'm oh so grateful to that former co-worker of mine who let me pick up the book and read 1 story. I promptly purchased the book following that experience. Since then, I've reread the various stories numerous times. The best thing about short stories written by Dave Eggers is his ability to truly capture an emotion and portray in such a beautiful, relative way.

You Shall Know Our Velocity by Dave Eggers

First to recommend

Description

I want to say this is my favorite Eggers book purely because of what I interpret the message as. I'm not going to reveal that here just because every reader should be able to take away whatever they want from a book, but it was an uplifting inspiration for me in a very un-cheesy way.

Me Talk Pretty One Day

11 people recommended this item

Description

If you don't know who David Sedaris is, you need to learn. This book, all of his books is all short stories about his family and his life. Just don't read it in public because people might think you're a little crazy when you start laughing out loud.
