### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A diverse and interesting book.
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 26, 2014*

This is a very interesting book.  I cannot say that I liked every piece in it, but they all made me think.  I enjoyed many of the pieces.  Some were true stories, and others showed truths thru fiction.  There were many very different pieces in the book.This is NOT a book for children.  It is full of adult themes.  I found it was not a book to read when I was sad to start with.  many of the pieces hold some of the more depressing truths of mankind's society.  There were also some funny places, and a few uplifting places.  However, I found I could not predict what a story or essay would bring me in advance.I believe there was some cursing, but it was so much part of the pieces it was in that I cannot even remember the cursing clearly.  Some of the pieces were about very poor people living in stark places.  Some of them will be with me for a very long time.I found this to be a very unusual book, and I would recommend it to almost any adult.  Particularly if you want to expand your mind.  .Most of the pieces were fairly short, so there are many to choose from.  I love the fact that part of the price goes to support literacy and education!  Please consider buying it.I hope this review will help you.  I apologize for it not being as clear as some of my reviews, but this book is very hard to quantify. I hope you find the book as interesting as I did.

    Can't Really Complain
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 22, 2008*

This is the first edition of Nonrequired Reading that I've read, but it won't be the last.  I really enjoyed it.  The only problem is the reading is so varied.  There were a couple stories I skimmed over because the topic didn't really interest me, but the really good stories made up for it.  There were two graphic short stories, which I really enjoyed.  I teach middle school and flirted with the idea of sharing them with my students, but in the end felt the subject matter was too mature for them.  Most of the reading would be more appropriate for college-level reading.  There was one article in which scientists wrote about what that thought was real, but could not prove.  That had to be my favorite because it really blew my mind.  Also, a great article on Dubai, a place I'll probably never get to visit, but wish I could.Great reading.  Since I own it, I can see myself picking it up again in a few years and rereading.  One of the reviewers said this was their least favorite edition.  If that is true, I can't wait to read the others because, to me, this edition was pretty solid.

    Best of the Best of...
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2009*

Whenever I read a Best of Series book, only a few stories/essays grab me, and this is the eclectic nature of anthologies. In Best-of books all writing is high quality, but what interests the writer and me is hit and miss.Yet I found almost seventy percent of BNR 2006 excellent. The graphic entries all great, I've read Delisle's Pyongyang, it is up there with Spiegelman's Maus, but the other two I had never heard of and found both very provocative - Joe Sacco & Gipi. The Best American Excerpt from a Military Blog is a tearjerker, and the Chuck Norris Facts as well as the Onion headlines are funny. My prose favorites came from Tom Downey, The Lincoln Group, Julia Sweeney, and Vonnegut. On the questionable end, I'm glad to have the opportunity to read the 26 pages of the Iraqi Constitution, but..., it does not make very compelling reading. And perhaps too many of the essays or excerpts made a one-sided statement about our involvement in the Middle East. This is fascinating stuff, and though Tom Downey's 'The Insurgent's Tale' perhaps is the most provocative piece of the bunch, it also made me wonder why the story seemed unable to come down a little harder, or examine, both sides. I somehow felt the author gave the insurgent a pass at times.Four and a half stars.
