Dave Eggers and McSweeney's

Dave Eggers edited- McLean and Eakin approved- The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2006 and Wholphin DVDs are eclectic, eccentric and erratically educational.
*******************
Here are some things you'll find in The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2006:
--Best American Fake Headlines, from the Onion
--Best American Answers to the question "What do you believe is true even though you cannot prove it?"
--Best American First Sentences of Novels of 2005
--The Iraqui Constitution, from the Washington Post
--Excerpts from Kurt Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, David Rakoff, David Foster Wallace, and lots more!
******************
Here are some delightful things you'll find in the three Wholpin DVDs:
--The Best of all Sitcoms fromTurkey
--Spike Jonze's Lost Al Gore documentary
--Squids Being Born (Easily the most alien things things you've ever seen on this planet.)
--Unveiled in Yemen: The Bravest 13 yr. old Girl in the World.
