1. Short Stories? Or full-length novels?
I usually prefer novels, but I do read short stories if I see a collection that catches my fancy, or by an author I like. I don’t always have the best of luck with short stories; too often I find them pointless, disturbing, or just plain confusing. But when they’re good they can be a fun way to pass the time.
2. And, what’s your favourite source for short stories? (You know, if you read them.)
The same places I get nearly all of my books: the library and the Bookfest!
The Decameron just showed up at my house, within the past two weeks or so. Are you enjoying it?
ReplyDeleteI am! It's much more readable than Chaucer, the stories being shorter and in prose. And as a bonus, the Introduction paints a vivid if unappealing picture of life during the Black Death.
