"So I started bloggin again, and what is a blog if not a very modern form of the essay. I thought I would do well to get a little forward thought on it. Not finished with the book yet, but so far I like it. The essays are also a good length for my bus ride, which provides a nice sense of accoplishment."
"Not every essay in this collection is a gem, but several are, and the worst manage to at least be thought provoking. Particular stand-outs for me were Martin Luther King Jr.'s "Letter from Birmingham Jail", Alice Walker's essay on her search for Zora Neale Hurston's grave, Richard Rodriguez's essay on growing up bilingual, and Stephen Jay Gould's essay on the evolution of baseball."
