I think ...Oops, I mean the author went on the list. I think of all the books I mentioned, Shirley Jackson's The Lottery (the collection, not the story - which is actually my least favorite in that particular short story collection) is the most thought-provoking. My F2F group doesn't discuss short stories, apart from a couple during Christmas season but I think they'd be great fun to talk about.Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-36048236118322458962014-04-15T15:59:49.474-05:002014-04-15T15:59:49.474-05:00I didn't realize that, Les!

This one just went on the list, along with Anton Chekov, Simon Van Booy (like I even need to repeat his name), Vladimir Nabokov, Anna Gavalda, Shirley Jackson, Katherine Mansfield . . . I could go on. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-24222901051338192542014-04-15T14:46:03.195-05:002014-04-15T14:46:03.195-05:00I'm not a huge fan of short stories, but you&#...I'm not a huge fan of short stories, but you've piqued my interest.

We have one of those curved scratchers at each end of the couch, the idea being, "Hey, look, here's something to scratch that is NOT furniture." LOL It works. :)Bookfoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247136634069540446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-50149344388508545492014-04-14T00:24:47.209-05:002014-04-14T00:24:47.209-05:00This sounds good and I like the scratching post!This sounds good and I like the scratching post!Kailanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11136262232046813471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29370872.post-45737407112156067532014-04-13T23:29:09.083-05:002014-04-13T23:29:09.083-05:00It's excellent.
