Ultimate Blogs: Masterworks from the Wild Web edited by Sarah Boxer

As if I don’t already surround myself with blogging enough-I had to go and buy a book on blogs.
Ultimately though, I found this to be a great collection of the various forms of blogs that you can find on the blogosphere-of course there’s the personal journal type that I think we’re all pretty familiar with, however, in this collection we are also introduced to cartoons, politics, historical autobiographies, and even an Odyssey inspired blog…amongst several more. For the most part, the blogs found in this collection are blogs which you’ve probably never heard of before (with the exception of The Smoking Gun), but they all warrant a read-whether or not the subject seems interesting.
If you are already a heavy blogger you probably won’t find anything earth shattering here, though, it’s a good way to discover some talented and under appreciated bloggers…but if you are just starting out blogging (or are considering opening a blog) this would be an excellent resource-it’ll give you an idea of what sort of things people blog about, blog writing styles, etc.
