5.0 out of 5 stars Short and sweet September 2, 2009

By FJ Oekstrahay

Format:Paperback

I had forgotten how nice it is to have an anthology of short stories to pick up now and again for a quick read. Of course the Ed note reminded me that I can always curl up with my iPhone or laptop to read short stories online, but somehow I never do. Problem is, I already blew threw the few stories that were in there so I guess I'll have to go online or buy another book or get cable or something. I really enjoyed the book while it lasted.
