5.0 out of 5 stars Too busy to read novels? Dip into this, 21 May 2008

By	Well Read "saro319" (Norhampton England) - See all my reviews

This is one of a series to dip into if not in the mood for a novel. A good way to discover writers work you may not previously have read. Well known authors: Alice Munro, Annie Proulx, and John Updike have slots here. I became hooked on short stories many years ago. They are in every way as good as novels. These stories are gleaned by the series editor from a huge range of magazines such as, The New Yorker, Harper's, and Granta. It's an accolade for any writer, even for best selling authors, to be included in these collections. If too busy or tired to get stuck into a novel, the short story is the answer to that.

This is also a very good series for neophyte writers and students of literature to read. They're cost effective too. What you get are twenty varied, fascinating stories, for less than the price of many novels. Even the introductions are a good read. I highly recommend this one published in 2004, and the whole series.
