A collection of witty essays covering a diverse range of topics, such as taking a cruise, the film maker David Lynch, and tennis. The title essay, A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again, finds the author becoming disillusioned with the hospitality industry after spending a week on a cruise ship and feeling compelled to be behave like a brat and have a fun time. Some of the essays are autobiographical and reveal the author's experiences as a tennis player or at a state fair.
Boasting the largest collection of book summaries, BookRags is the best option for titles you can't find elsewhere. They offer all of the basics (quotes, chapter summary, characters, historical context, literary criticism) but also walk through a few major topics that recur throughout the book, which can be particularly useful for essay writing.
