Jun 14, Ariel Curry added it. Wonderful collection of influential essays, primarily from the US, but several from other areas of the world as well. The introduction from the editors is itself worth reading, and you will learn so much from the persuasive historical arguments that have just as much meaning today as they did in the times when they were written.

Jun 17, Gulzab rated it it was amazing. Excellent collection of Essays! Some I'd read but then there were others, not necessarily considered exposes by the traditional sense. Rachel Carson's first chapter of Silent Spring. A recipe. Malcolm X on education. Ronald Reagan. Amy Tan on her mothers "Englishes". Richard Rodriguez on race relations and 'Blaxicans'. Honestly, an incredibly well curated collection that had me turning the page and wanting to read more and more.

This one goes on my bookshelf to be shared. Dec 18, Alan rated it really liked it. With the exception of a few essays, this anthology was a real treat. The book contains some of the most important and influential essays ever written in English. If it were not for those few essays I mentioned earlier this would have been an easy 5 star. I still recommend it for anyone who's interested in powerfull essays. Jul 11, Kathy rated it it was amazing.

Read some of the essays for an English class. Loved the essay written by Amy Tan called Mother Tongue. Need to finish this short book.

It's different learning how to read something with an analytical mind, instead of just for enjoyment. I understand why my teacher chose this book, because the stories all provoke higher level thinking. You have to think outside the box to understand some of them. I highly recommend them. Jul 06, Larry rated it liked it. I recently compared a handful of textbooks winnowed down from a much larger list for an Intro to Fiction class.

This one did make the final cut. Pluses are the clean design easy on the eyes and relatively affordable price. Feb 22, Katy rated it really liked it Shelves: contemporary. Classic, oft-anthologized stories which are good for upcoming fiction writers. May 29, Kate rated it really liked it Shelves: short-stories , fiction. This is a nice collection of short stories that isn't too large like so many anthologies.

It has a nice range of stories and authors, and also includes a short paragraph intro to each. It would be great for using in high school classrooms. Oct 16, Xilks rated it it was ok. Read most of the stories in this thing.

I wasn't particularly impressed, honestly. I guess this just isn't the format style for me. A lot of the stories weren't that interesting to me 'Classics' maybe but really, had I not been assigned to read them I wouldn't have read them. Sep 06, April rated it really liked it Shelves: required-reading. This book was assigned for my comp class, and I've kept it. I like to take it off the shelf and peruse through it.

It was alright for what it is. Didn't find many short stories I enjoyed. Was mainly reading it for class purposes. Jan 06, Noelle rated it it was amazing. Great combination of short stories. A really handy tool for an English Major as most of these stories are often mentioned in other works. Apr 02, Beverly rated it really liked it.
