There is no way for me to say whether this volume of essays is the best, next best or the worst in this series. I have been reading this series since it started and in every one there is wonderful writing. These are an indication that people are still writing amazing stories.

This one has some terrific poems and good essays by Brian Doyle and Natalie Goldberg.

The best part is that I can go back to any volume and enjoy these again and again. The writing is so good.

Like the "Nonrequired Reading" books in the "Best American..." series, this book has many different styles of writing, including poems, sermons, lists, and essays. I found all but one of them to be worth reading.
