Essay 6, “California Dreaming”
Short, odd. These people needed the Honors Program.
Essay 7, “Marrying Absurd”
Also short, but concise. A focused highlight of the absurdity of Las Vegas

Essay 5, “7000 Romaine, Los Angeles 38”:
Rich people are weird. “Why do we like those so? Why do we tell them over and over? Why have we made a folk hero of a man who is the antithesis of all our official heroes, a haunted millionaire out of the West, trailing a legend of desperation and power and white sneakers?”

Essay 2, "John Wayne: A Love Song":
I love how she writes about something very specific but at the same time manages to be talking about something much larger. Also her prose is spectacular
