For A Good Time
NP: John Coltrane, The Heavyweight Champion
Having been somewhat enthralled by The Best American Nonrequired Reading compilation last year, I asked and received this year's edition. The front section of the anthology tends to be a collection of fairly random things that don't necessarily amount to literature, but are pretty interesting nonetheless.
One such collection is titled something like "best English-language personal ads" or something like that, and has a healthy dose of entries from the London Review of Books. Even better, those classifieds are online. It's like a more highbrow, intellectual version of the giant time-suck that is Rock and Roll Confidential's "Hall of Douchebags."
