    <body><![CDATA[I love these clever reviewers giving this collection 2 or 3 stars because they don't like short stories.  Here's an idea -- when the cover declares &quot;41 STORIES&quot;, how about passing on it?  Also fascinated by the brainiacs who find him &quot;dated.&quot;  Go back to Middlesex, dimwits. ]]></body>
