Reading

So, its been a while since I've finished a book, which I miss, since I used to read a lot before having a kid. So, I've vowed to read more in my evenings...and I'm thinking short stories. I read a novella, Remembering Laughter, by one of my favorite writers Wallace Stegner today and this evening and enjoyed having a pretty short story that was very involving. I've never really been into short stories, so if anyone has suggestions, I'm open to them.

Alice Munro "stands as one of the living colossi of the modern short story," says the New York Times. I'll bring a collection called Carried Away next time I come. They are short, but very thought-provoking. Have you read Jhumpa Lahiri's Interpreter of Miseries?
Another great writer. Love, Mom

One of my favorites, The Complete Short Stories of Mark Twain by Charles Neider (Editor), is available used thru amazon.com for less than a dollar! Happy reading, Marjo
