The Best American NonRequired Reading

Section 1

I have got to say that this section of the book was rather entertaining, I read it in one sitting while I was eating breakfast. It was hard to keep from laughing, and when I did; people stared which is rather annoying.
My favorite part to this section would have to be Personals from around the World. Some of those things were so outlandish that you just had to stop and have a good laugh:

American Man, 57. I just want a girlfriend. What the hell is going on here?

Some people are so blunt when they say stuff; of course when you get desperate I guess you will say anything.
Then when I was reading Ten Stories about Ponies I had to stop and look at the title. I have to say that when I saw what it was called all I could think was what the hell? Then as I made my way through it I began to see that every paragraph was a different popular story but the noun of a character was substituted for a pony; which really threw me off.
And then I enjoyed the six-word memoirs immensely:

Being a monk stunk. Better gay.
-Bob Redman

Bad brakes discovered at high speed.
-Johan Baumeister

I like big butts, can’t lie.
-Dave Russ

These were some of my favorites, I just couldn’t put it down and when it was finally over I was so disappointed. If I could, I would have just kept on reading; but of course all things must come to an end.
