Read in March, 2007

This is a great collection of stories from the different 'alternative' newspapers. When I lived in the USA, I devoured these newspapers as much as I could. Now, in China, it's harder to find them, but reading this book brings them closer to me. My favourite story so far is one by Dan Savage about a young man who turned his father in for growing marijuana. For a medical condition. I think the editor made a lot of really good choices on what to include.

compilation of the wackiest news stories from alternative press weekly newspapers across the country. some of these stories are so strange - i love hearing the crazy (and often disturbing) stories that people have and lives that are so very different from mine.

What an inspiring collection of journalism. Reading this book makes me want to run away and write for the alternative press.
