This Week In Reading West of the West: Imagining California, edited by Leonard Michaels, David Reid and Raquel Scherr Let's get this out of the way: I'm not going to tell you to read this book. I enjoyed it, but I also recognize that it falls into the genre of "assigned reading for a history gen-ed that absolutely no one opened." Except me, apparently. Like all anthologies, this was a mixed bag. Some essays really cut me, and some were a drag. I was familiar with some of the authors (Joan Didion, John Steinbeck, Maya Angelou, Walt Whitman, Amy Tan etc.) but many were completely unknown to me.
