So... we all read short stories. I'm sure of it. If you don't in your free time, then your English teacher would probably give you some to read. And even if you don't like most of the assigned reading, there ARE a few short stories that are pretty freaking cool.
Like... "A Story of an Hour" by Kate Chopin "Where are you going, Where have you been?" by Joyce Carol Oates (dedicated to Bob Dylan) "The Storm" by Kate Chopin --- written in 1800 and the basis for all the smutty romance books we have now-a-days. Our teacher had us read it in class... she's possibly the best english teacher I've ever had. "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston. "A Rose for Emily" by William Faulkner. are there any short stories you like in particular? |

Interpreter of Maladies is a pretty good book of short stories by Jhumpa Lahiri..
It even won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. I think I read it 3 years ago
