I just finished reading the very first anthology of web journal writing--Never Threaten to Eat Your Co-Workers: Best of Blogs--which is now represented in my sidebar.  At one point I was moved to tears.  At another I laughed hysterically.  At the end I felt profoundly changed, as though held in the comforting hand of a power that’s larger than myself. 

Then I read all the pieces that weren’t written by me and, hey, they were pretty good too.

But I kid.  I only have a few paragraphs in the book, and there are more skillful wordsmiths represented therein such as the incomparable Dooce and ex-cheerleader-turned-acerbic-maternal-figure Mrs. Kennedy.  Even that geek from Star Trek gets his say--which is good, because, y’know, his web site can really use the exposure.

This is the first book of its kind ever produced.  It’s a good read.  If you like blogs, you’ll love it.  If you want to support blogs as an artistic medium, you need it.  It’s the perfect gift for the person on your list who has everything but an anthology of web journal writing.

It can be purchased right here.
