Both of these readings were chosen due to their titles. The titles are so catching. "Borrrinnng" was my very favorite. Dave Berry could make a chimp eating a banana funny. I loved the way that he pointed out those things that we all see in everyday life and actually talked about them. People really are... boring. Well for the most part. He uses great description and makes me want to keep reading.
"American Things" only kept my interest for the first page. He's very descriptive but tends to drone on after a while. I did like how he mentioned that in America our home rarely stays our home. He still thinks of where he goes home. Truthfully this story bored me to tears in parts. I think if it were cleaned up a bit and those unnessasary repetitions were taken out that things would work better.
