I'm taking a creative writing class and I have to find a book that contains either short stories, poems or essays... I want something that isn't totally boring LOL Does anyone have any ideas of a good book that I can use for the class??

Are there any off road related books like this LOL :D I'm open to any suggestions I just have to get the book next week because my first journal assignment is due 2/1/09 :D

Thanks!!

Does it have to be a published book? Lucho's short stories are always entertaining!

Tucker Max has a collection of short stories in "I hope they serve beer in hell"
probably not appropriate for school though..:eek:

Any of the Jimmy Buffet books are short story collections as well.

He's always entertaining

Thank you everyone for your help!! I'm looking into these options right now... and no they don't have to be published... they can be in print in a book or on the internet :D
