Composition question:
Are there readers we like for expository writing? For several years, I've just been distributing random essays that I like to teach, mostly from magazines. Occasionally, I've been forced to teach from readers full of essays with prompts like, "Fat people: should they be allowed to live or yeeted into orbit?" Long ago, I'd mostly use a "Best American Essays" collection or similar, but I'd like more breadth and historical depth than that. What anthologies do you like?
