I never thought of reading essays before, but I picked this randomly off the shelf of the library. And it was great! I love the short reading length and most of all, the variety of subjects and styles! I never knew what to expect. Of course, I liked some of the essays more than others; my favourites were "Washing the Bosy," "The Approaches," and "Against Domesticated Fiction."
