Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web Sarah Boxer First edition

?What are you working on??
?An anthology of blogs.?
?I didn?t know you had a blog.?
?I don?t. It?s an anthology of other people?s blogs.?

?Yes. Very.?

A Book of Blogs? WTF!!

Sarah Boxer, a former New York Times reporter and critic, travels through the blogosphere (more than 80 million blogs ? and counting) and finds some masterpieces along the way. Among the bloggers in the anthology are:

two fashion critics mocking the inexplicable ?fugliness? of celebrities
a Marine Corps lieutenant stationed in Fallujah in 2006
a 19-year old student in Singapore cheerfully pining for her ex
an illustrator?s tiny saga of a rodent and his ball of crap
Odysseus?s sidekick telling his side of the Iliad and Odyssey



Revealing and deceptive, grand and niggling, worldly and parochial, these blogs comprise a snapshot of life on the wild, wild Web.
