Finished the rest, from Confucius to Don Quixote. If You Love, The Best Thing in the World, Rabbits, Bingo, Marie's BF, Pick a Lane, Being Right, Never Fall in Love, Biggest Rip-Off, Labor Day, Kate Moss, Fine Line, Inflatable Women, Rome, & Love Poem all had aspects I liked. Strange News, Constructive Criticism, & The Bravest Thing I really liked- very funny. But the closer, despite its length, & the rest, were weak

Read MONSTER through Johnny Depp. The ending of MONSTER is pretty weird, but I like the story as a whole- & the Kellogg's one is long but very good- I like the 5th graders talking like adults. The ones on pictures of food, nickels, the train problem, being young, and closure were all alright. I like how Arush appeared again. The ones on carrot cake & Johnny Depp were good, albeit brief, but I didn't care for Elvis

Read up to The Ambulance Driver- they're all very funny and entertaining so far. I think a lot of books feel very meticulous, so it's a breath of fresh air to read something written in such a tangential way. Loved the one about dark matter, the girl who gives great advice, and the ambulance driver- esp bc the girl shows up in the ambulance driver story. I just hope Novak's shtick doesn't get too repetitive by the end
