This book is really engaging. it's fun and sometimes funny. Sometimes it's heartwarming. I loved all the short stories. such a wide range of content. The topic is fun, though. Give it a read, for fun!

Entertaining collection of writing. My only beef with it is that every time I really started to get into an excerpt, it ended, making plunging into the next one more difficult.

I don't remember this. I read it 14-1/2 years ago -- that's probably why.

Good premise, but boring reading. I bought it just for the e e cummings poem, May I Feel Said He?
