The Norton Reader: An Anthology of Expository Prose

by Joan Hartman

Adopted at over 700 schools in its previous edition, The Norton Reader has long been the standard bearer for liberal arts composition readers. The editors' goals have always been the same: to collect the very best essays, by the very best writers, and place them between two covers. This new edition continues in that tradition, providing instructors with a wealth of selections, many of them new to this edition. The text also offers a flexible organization, an affordable price, and inventive, practical suggestions for improving reading and writing.

From how to dumpster dive to why college is a waste of time and money, this is something of a Bible to me.

This was a solid read. Not my typical interest, but these essays covered the gamut of literature. I definitely enjoyed it.

Yes, I am reading this over winter break. Shuddup. There are some awesome excerpts in it, and a friend sent me the book. Hush up now.
