I can't stop talking about this guy. His books have really entertained me and instructed about the worlds current issues. Dave Eggers is is an American writer, editor, and publisher. He is known for the best-selling novel, A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (which is an awesome must read book), and his more recent work as a screenwriter for the Spike Jonze movie "Where the Wild Things Are" (which was absolutely amazing and fun to watch). I have recently read "You Shall Know our Velocity" which is a great book about two friends traveling the world. I have just finished "What is the What" which is a great autobiography about a lost boy from Sudan, and his hard and insane life traveling through the deserts of Africa.
I think everyone should at least read one of these books, since i have never read any book much like these ones. They really open your eyes in the case of what is the what to the problems of Africa.
If you are in the San Francisco area, you should check out 826 Valencia, a nonprofit writing and tutoring center for kids ages 6-18 which is half a pirate costume store, and a tutoring service (read up on it, you'll understand why).
